i just installed the driver and restarted and there is no change. It still likes to dart into the top and bottom corners and stay there, when i try to move it it starts for the corner again

also when i reboot i still get the 08611 error (I have aslo tried a different keyboard on the thinkpad and still on change

 

i am actually using an ibm thinkpad 600e myself and what i think your problem might be is that you may have a virus best bet is too back up and reinstall windows because viruses just keep on growing mate! there are viruses going around that even kill your pc's motherboard.

 

Thanks again i will try formatting and see if it helps

 

have you got win disc

 

win disc???

 

like windows xp or vista

 

yes i have windows xp and vista installation discs

 

how much ram do you have? and how big is hard drive?

 

256 MB ram
27.9GB HD

 

as you turn on laptop put win xp disc in and turn laptop off and on again, when it pops up any key to boot from cd press any key you want. let me know when you have done that.

BE WARNED: dont try installing vista because you need a 512mb ram to install vista

 

sorry i forgot to mention i know how to format with most OS i do it quiet i alot

 

so wat did you do to mess up trackpoint before format drive or reinstall windows

 

i have no idea it just stopped working properly once formatted before(it as only been formatted once). and i have no idea on how to fix it as you have probably already noticed

 

just carry on with win xp install and leave a post here tellin me if it as worked and i will get back to ya later gotta go work mate

 

Thanks for input will tell you once finished

 

i haven't formatted it yet, but i did remember that before i originally formatted it i did uninstall a set of updates, which upset the computer and is also the reason for me formatting it.
