I would just download and install a fresh version of the Alps Drivers and Control Utility from HERE

Your SATA drivers must be installed OK or you would not have been able to install a new operating system. These drivers need to be installed by pressing F6 at the first XP-Pro setup screen. If they are not installed you will get a 'Hard Disc not found' message.

Hey, have a look at this: http://esupport.sony.com/EN/osmig/xpclean.html

I installed my old stripped windows xp sp2, downloaded the drivers and utilities from sony, then I followed the instructions found in the site i linked above, and my vaio tx2 works fine, just as before! (except the cpu control, but i will start a new thread for my problem)

but to answer your specific problem, i installed the alps driver as follows:

went to control panel -> system -> device manager
then i selected 'ps2 mouse' in the 'mice and and other poining devices' section, right clickd on it, then chose update driver.
i chose 'install it from a specific location', then i pointed the folder where i saved the alps driver before.

i hope i could help you.

ps.: i dont have a sata driver,so i dont know, how to install it.
