I am working on recovering an older Sony Vaio with Windows Vista Business. The user wants the touchpad disabled. Problem is that when I do this

• Go to C:\Program Files\Sony\Setting Utility Series
• Run VCCPointingDevice.exe
• Untick the "Enable" checkbox and voila

The "Enable" box is already NOT checked but the touchpad is still functioning. I have tried a couple other ideas, disabling/uninstalling the driver (just reinstalls on reboot), I have also looked in the control panel under the mouse settings (no option present), and I have tried using the sony vaio control panel (no option for pointing device/touchpad, just mouse and keyboard).

I have installed all updates and drivers to my knowledge for the computer.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

i know this is blunt but i did same thing check box and thought that it would worked, yet still able to move until i hit apply. So maybe you need to hit apply then test to see if it worked or not.

I have a sony vaio vpcea43fb and disable my touchpad :

• Synaptics driver doesn't have auto disable option when mouse usb is plugged.
• Download touchfree and install

This software works very well. when you are using keyboard.
