Windows 7, touchpad sensitivity, Sony VAIO

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??

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.

    This works fine, but every-time you turn off the computer you have to do it all over again.  How do you fix the thing permanently?

    I can not use them together, I just have to disable the pad and not put into use, and now use only the bluetooth mouse,  still can not use both????
