Re: TrackPoint II drifting
Mark,
I had this problem on my TP 350 as well in MS Windows 3.1. Your post
doesn't state if you this is a Windows or DOS or whatever releated problem.
If running Windows 3.x, have your co-worker double check to see if
Windows is installed for "MS-DOS System with APM" (instead of "MS-
DOS System"). Making this change solved this problem for me.i
This needs to be done from DOS - not from within Windows or in a DOS box.
I can't comment about the 755 CD - sorry.
Michael
