Re: Window Blinks

To disable the touchpad go to control panel..ThinkPad
configuration..and you should be able to disable it there.

| Ricky andToyman,
|
| Mine too is a IBM Thinkpad, and I have the logitech wireless mouse.
I never

when you're
| using the wireless mouse that this happens?
| It does sound very possible. Do you also have the problem with the
scrollbar
| jumping up and down and the page dropping? Would they all be the
same thing,
| the touchpad?
|
| Thanks for your help,
| San
|
| ps how do you disable the touchpad?
