Both.  You will need to run the setup.exe program in your Windows directory.
I don't know if it will solve the problem or not since it is
showing up in DOS, and my solution involves changing your Windows installation.
Granted, I hardly ever used a DOS program on it that made use of the 
Track Point, most all of  my software is Windows based.
When my TP was doing this (mostly) was when the APM would kick in - well
actually when you tried to resume after suspending.

Good luck,
