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.

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... :( - Andy O. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
