Hi
I was wondering if anybody could help. I have Vista Ultimate installed onto
a Sony Vaio laptop. Once I'd done this I lost some functionality of the
mouse. I therefore installed Alps Pointing Device Software Version 7. It
works great apart from the fact that I keep getting security alert messages
under start-up for 'apoint.exe', 'apmsgfwd.exe' and 'apntex.exe'. Even if I
allow these through the firewall under each start-up and even tick the box to
'not be reminded of this threat again' - I still get the security alerts.
I presume these exe's are fine and part of the driver software. How do I
stop the security alerts coming up? Any help would be great.

What is the model name for your Sony Vaio laptop (e.g., VGN-A690)?

Hi

My VAIO is a VGN-FE21M. It came with XP Media Center on it and I
recently upgraded to Vista, via clean install, so I had the same
problem with Alps. I solved this uninstalling the driver, and
reinstalling it. The point is to run the installer application as
Administrator. You can do this right-clicking on the installer, and
then choosing "run as administrator" (password may be needed).

I hope this helps you.

OMG, my english is really awful, isn't it?

Greetings from Spain!

I'm probably just plain stupid - when I try uninstalling the driver th
uninstaller prompts me to replace the Alps driver w. some othe
mousedriver before letting me uninstall...

How did you do this?

Else I think installing as Admin is the right way.

Hope you haven't forgotten about this thread

Hoping for help // Johan, Swede

Since this whole thread has expired off the MSNews NG server and I
cannot see the OP, what are you talking in relation to other posts that
cannot be read anymore?

******************************
One writer suggested driverinstallation as admin, and that's probabl
the roght way to go, but as I tried uninstalling I get prompted t
install another mousedriver before the Alpsdriver let's me carry away
wich to me is quite idiotic...

Thanks for your time!
