TrackPoint problems

Problem:

The cursor drifts when the computer is turned on or after it resumes

normal operation.

Solution:

The cursor might drift when you are not using the TrackPoint

during normal operation. This is a normal characteristic of the TrackPoint and
is not a defect. Drift might last for several seconds under the following
conditions:
v When the computer is turned on.
v When the computer resumes normal operation.
v When the TrackPoint is pressed for a long time.
v When the temperature changes.

Problem:

The mouse or pointing device does not work.

Solution:

Make sure that the pointing-device is enabled in the Device

Manager.

Make sure that the mouse or pointing-device cable is securely connected to
the computer via a port replicator.

Try using the TrackPoint. If the TrackPoint works, the error might be due to
the mouse.

Note:

For more information, see the manual supplied with the mouse.

Problem:

The mouse buttons do not work.

Solution:

drive does not contain device drivers, refer to the ThinkPad Service &
Support Web site. To access this Web site, open Access ThinkPad by pressing
the ThinkPad button, then click the Service & Support image on the right of
the screen.

Problem:

The scrolling or magnifying glass function does not work.
