This is the answer --- I installed Synaptics for Vista even though I have Windows 7 --- they work beautifully together. You can then disable your touchpad and us a bluetooth mouse and the problem is solved!!! It's great.

I had Windows Vista Home Premium installed on my Sony VAIO PCG-5KSP laptop computer.
It never happened before, but after I installed Windows 7 the touchpad sensitivity went through the roof. The cursor constantly will be "clicked" by my finger or wrist and move to where the mouse is located while I am typing.
It's already happened twice while typing this! I have already tried searching for TouchPad and looked under Control Panel > Mouse >
There is no tab for Properties/Settings with Sensitivity. Under Properties is only shows General, Driver, and Details, and if I click on Change Settings it again only has General, Driver, and Detail tabs.
Where can I change the stupid touchpad sensitivity??
