Touch pad not working in vista but works in mini XP and BartPE

Hiya all, I have a very bizarre issue that i have never come across before and hope that someone my be able to help me work out whats wrong.

I have a Toshiba Equium A100-337 Laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit.

The touch pad one day just suddenly stopped working, so I started at the beginning to try to diagnose the issue with some bizarre results:

Tested the Fn key button to turn the pad on/off - still same issue
Touch pad driver appears to be working ok in device manager
External mouse works ok

At this stage I thought it was a hardware issue and a new touch pad would be required, however:

Booted with Hirens Boot CD and Bart PE, touch pad works perfectly fine in both?!

I checked the files which Mini XP and Bart PE were using for the touch pad and they are the same as Vista (i8042prt.sys).

Can anyone shed some light on this, any help would be greatly appreciated?

Many thanks in advance.

*ps I have done a fresh install still same issue
