Re: TrackPoint II drifting
I never had this problem on my TP 500 until after installing
Windows 95--which uses no device drivers or TSR's. I just installed
Windows 95 last week. This has only happened once. Has anyone else
seen this occur under Windows 95? What is the solution--the problem
has gone away by rebooting. I wonder what causes this?
