I currently have 3 Thinkpads (T40,T42 & T43). They have all exhibited
that behavior at one time or another over the years, almost always when
using an external mouse. Seems it gets confused when there are 3 active
pointing devices. It also seems to be dependent on which external mouse
I'm using. For me, disabling one or the other of the builtin devices and
setting profiles for how I use the particular machine in the UltraNav
applet has fixed it.

Subject: Weird Scrolling Issue

I have a user with a very strange issue and my Google-fu is failing me.

She has a ThinkPad T60 running WinXP Pro SP2, fully patched.
Periodically, at least once a week, the scroll bars will stop
functioning properly in any window she has open.  Using the mouse scroll
wheel, clicking the down arrow on the scroll bar, or using the keyboard
arrows all results in the same thing - it starts to scroll then jumps to
the top or beginning of whatever she's in.

It happens in documents, file dialog boxes, web pages, you name it.
Rebooting clears the issue for a while. Anyone seen anything like this
or have any ideas?  I'm leaning towards a reimage...

------------------
Unrelated, on my home machine, the CPU heatsink retention clip
spontaneously snapped yesterday while I was at work and I came home to a
heatsink and fan hanging off my mobo by a power wire and a damaged
CPU/socket. I just needed to tell someone who would understand my
pain... :(
