I am supporting a remote user whose left-click capabilities keeps dying. If he hits CTRL+ALT+DEL, he gets the use of his left-click back (for a while). This is affecting both the touch pad on his IMB ThinkPad (running XP Pro) as well as the USB mouse attached to it.

I have uninstalled all mouse drivers and reinstalled the appropriate UltraNAV driver for his touchpad. I also ran CCleaner in hopes something in the registry was wigging.

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!

This happen to me last night on my Thinkpad T60

It happen while moving mp3 from my iTunes library to a playlist.

USB mouse works fine.

I can't double tab on my touchpad and I cant use my touchpad clicker.

What's weird is that this happen on both my OS images in different harddrives. I reset BIOS defaults and tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers a few times. I reset all the mouse setting everywhere I could fine one.

So this means either the hardware just took a crap or I hit some obscure key sequence that disabled my left click function. Since I can't double tab I gotta think it's some kind of setting.

Several problems (on different laptops) regarding the pointer messing up. Found that running the Lenovo Automated solutions for the Trackpoint resolved the majority of them.
Hope this helps.

Good luck

Can you tell me what you mean by the Automated Solutions. I tried the mouse config wizard but I'm not sure what you mean by Automated Solutions.

My ID Guy decided to send it off to IBM, so we'll never know what the problems was.
