TrackPoint problems

Problem:
The pointer drifts when the computer is turned on or after it resumes
normal operation.
Solution:
The pointer 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. Pointer drifting might occur 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 the pointing device does not work.
Solution:
Make sure that the TrackPoint is enabled in the ThinkPad Configuration
Program, and then try using the TrackPoint. If the TrackPoint works, the
error might be due to the mouse.
Make sure that the mouse or pointing-device cable is securely connected to
the USB connector.
Note: For more information, see the manual supplied with the mouse.
Problem:
The mouse buttons do not work.
Solution:
If your ThinkPad computer has the TrackPoint only, this problem may
occur.
Change the mouse driver to Standard PS/2
reinstall PS/2 TrackPoint. Drivers are provided in the
C:\IBMTOOLS\DRIVERS directory or the C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS
directory on your hard disk drive. If you cannot find the device drivers
you need on your hard disk drive, refer to "Installing device drivers"
section of Access Help.
