Trackpoint and UltraNav driver

Hello,
I am using a ThinkPad T60 with Windows XP SP3 as operating system. On the homepage I found the following different drivers and utilities related to the TrackPoint and theTouchPad:
TrackPoint Accessibility Driver
UltraNav Driver
UltraNav Utility
UltraNav Wizard
The TrackPoint Accessibility Driver and the UltraNav Wizard are not updated since 2006, the UltraNav Driver and the UltraNav Utilitywere updated some times (last in 2008).
Do I need tto install all of them, or can I ignore some of them (preferably the older ones) without loosing functionnalit?
Michele

I have the exact same question, prior to UltraNav driver installation, you can simply Tap-to-click while using the Trackpoint. After installing the driver, you MUST click down on the Clickpad to send a click while using the Trackpoint. This is such a simple software solution that has seriously made me regret my decision to by a newer Thinkpad. The new xx50 series Clickpad is interchangeable with the xx40 series but I am not spending nearly 70$ to solve a simple software problem!
I recall that back in the days of the X200/X201 there were a decent amount of tips/tricks we could do via the registry to enable "hidden" features of the Synaptics touchpad/trackpoint combo. Is there a similar "hack" we could do to enable the tap-to-click functionality while using the Trackpoint?

Ultranav Driver 16.2.14.0 needs TWO reboot to function

I just want to report the following things about the latest Ultranav driver 16.2.14.0:
1. Thankfully, the non-working middle-click button bug (when set to "None"), is resolved. Previously in the last few drivers it wasn't working properly. It pretty much meant removing the middle button from my laptop, since it was forced to scrolling mode because of some bug and I simply couldn't middle click. I was forced to use driver from Synaptics to fix it. Glad now I can use Lenovo driver!
2. However there is a bug with this driver, that it needs TWO restarting to function. Upon the first restart, Fn + F8 gives an error, and the TrackPoint sensitivity is always set to hardest, and no matter what you set in this windows session, it will disappear upon the next reboot.
After the 2nd reboot, it works perfectly. Fn + F8 opens the moust dialog (no utility software installed), and the settings function properly.
Using a W520

Hello noochi01,
I found another "problem" in my first XP installation... some years ago I learned to press F5 during the first WinXP setup screen (where it says "press F6 for storage controller...") in order to manually select "ACPI-PC" as the PC type. Otherwise sometimes the non-ACPI HAL would be installed due to some crappy ACPI BIOSes which results in the "You may now switch off the computer" message instead of power down.
This manual ACPI-PC selection was what I also did when I first setup XP SP3 on the T61p... now I noticed the machine runs on only one of the 2 CPU cores. Cause is that the selection of "ACPI-PC" will install the uniprocessor XP kernel:-/
So I now did another clean setup with selecting "ACPI multiprocessor PC" => multiprocessor kernel is installed and both CPU cores are used. With this setup I don't have problems with either the original UltraNav 13.x driver or the Ricoh SD/MMC host controller driver.
I'm very unsure if the uniprocessor kernel in the first installation caused these driver problems or if I simply installed the drivers in a different sequence this time... but there's no freeze until now.
Can you check if both CPU cores are active on your machine? E.g. the Windows task manager shows two graphs for CPU usage, two frequencies are shown in System Properties etc.?
btw: The 3.57.01 Ricoh drivers from the ASUS website seem to work well for the ThinkPads with that Ricoh 4-in-1-controller: http://dlsvr.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/Drivers/Cardreader/CardReader_Ricoh_VT_090513.zip
I don't know why Lenovo did never release that driver update?! On the Ricoh page there are no downloads for "industrial products"... and that controller seems already outdated.
Cheers,
Wolfgang

Ultranav driver 15.2.20.0 unusable on T510

Hi, after installing ultranav driver 15.2.20.0 update, two finger scrolling became totally unresponsive on my system (T510 i7 Win7 64 Optimus).
It works for the first time, but as I lift my fingers off the pad it looks like I have to wait at least two to three seconds in order to be able to use the feature again. The mouse cursor is unresponsive, shows the arrow and doesn't move.
I had to revert back to 15.2.19.0, which I am happily using as I write this.
Anyone experienced the same issue?

I am having the same issue on my T420S.
There is one more bug I am experiencing. Sometimes after the system resumes from sleep, the ultranav driver does some weird things. For example, if I am trying to scroll with the trackpoint while holding the middle button, the cursor will still move around the screen.
Even if I set the trackpoint stick to only use advanced features, and not act as a mouse, sometimes after resume it still moves around the screen.
The only way to correct this is either to fully log out and back in, or to restart the system.

SL300 - Ultranav Driver, EasyEject utility, Presentation Director

Hi,
I have problems getting the touchpad to work and quite few other features after installing win7.
Right now the UltraNav driver wont install, tried both versions:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70340
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/WIN7-BETA.html#unav
I installed the UltraNav Utility, got no errors on this install:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67226
Anyone else having troubles getting the driver to work on a SL300?
I also cant find a compatible driver for EasyEject and Presentation Director - any tip on where i can find one or when it might be released, would be awesome
And, I am still worried about the registry patches:

Will these work on win 7? Should i install them when they are noted as compatible with vista?

64 bit version of Ultranav driver not available for download

Using either Update Retriever or System Update, version 7.202.1616.206 of the ThinkPad UltraNav Driver 2 (Alps) 64 bit is missing from the System Update catalogue. Package ID: 6EGY02WW is not presented. Only the 32 bit version (Package ID: 6EGX02WW) is available.

Hi Stormycloud,
The problem is resolved. Today, on both of my R500 machines, Update Retriever informed me that the 64 bit version of the Ultranav utility was available for download. On both of my machines I then downloaded the driver. I was then able to use System Update to install the driver. Thank-you. Case closed.

T60 - thinkpad ultranav driver is not detected

Hello,
From the following link I downloaded and installed the "UltraNav Utility for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad "
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t60...
My O.S is Windows XP-32
Upon installation completion I was asked to restart the Laptop.
But upon windows boot, the mouse pad is not working. Only the red mouse is working .
I tried <Fn+F8>. It did not make a difference .
From this link I also installed: UltraNav Wizard for Windows 2000/XP".
When I ran the wizard I got the message:
thinkpad ultranav driver is not detected
In the device manager, under "Mice and other pointing devices", there is only PS/2 mouse.
Can you help ?
Thank you in advance,
Z.V

How do I prevent the UltraNav driver from automatically installing?

I have an x230 with Windows 8. As some of you might know, the UltraNav driver on Windows 8 does not allow the middle button to be used for middle-click. As a workaround, I use the Synaptics generic mouse driver, which works just fine.
However, either Lenovo or Windows (I suspect the latter) persistently tries to reinstall the (evil) UltraNav driver, which kills middle-click functionality. So every once in a while when my system has been rebooted after updates, I find I can't middle click, which means I have to manually uninstall the UltraNav driver, reboot once, install the Synaptics generic driver, reboot again.
This is a huge hassle, and I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Actually, Windows Update itself seems to have nothing to do with it. (It took me a while to realize it wasn't working since I rarely shut down my laptop.)
I have a strong feeling the culprit is here:
open Devices & Printers. (Type it into the Start Screen and it will be under Settings)
Right click your laptop's icon and click Device Installation Settings
Select: No, let me choose what to do; Never install driver software from Windows Update
Hoping this works, because I seriously depend on the middle click button in AutoCAD. If you're used to opening/closing tabs with it, ctrl + left click works without too much extra effort.

[W520] New UltraNav driver update failure...

The UltraNav driver 15.3.39.1 in question for my W520: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS019164
Installing the update results in these two error messages:
It finally finishes with:
I've tried uninstalling everything, restarts in between, and everything else. I'm having to roll back to the previous version.

OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with the latest updates and drivers

I tried installing that driver and it worked for me. Anyone else having this problem?

Installing UltraNav Driver increases boot up time

I'm using a Thinkpad W520 with Windows 7 and a Crucial M4 256GB SSD (not sure if this is also part of the cause of the problem). Normally the boot up time is between 20 to 25 seconds. However, when I update the UltraNav driver to the latest version, the boot up time is significantly increased to around 50 seconds. And when I use Device Manager to roll back the version of the UltraNav driver to PS/2 Compatible Mouse, the boot up time is normal again.
My question is: has anyone else also observed this incompatibility issue between UltraNav with (Windows 7 or SSD)? Is there a solution to this problem?
Solved!

It sounds like some conflict in drivers somewhere. What if you install the drivers, but uncheck the startup entries in MSCONFIG?
My boot times have always been fine with the drivers installed.

Lenovo Update of Synaptics UltraNav driver now makes it reset vertical scrolling speed

After the last update of the Synaptics UltraNav Driver on my W510 to 16.1.1.0 through Lenovo Update it now keeps reseting the Vertical Scrolling speed (the lines per mouse wheel to 1) randomly when pluging/unplugging a mouse or docking/undocking or rebooting the machine.
This is probably the 5th case of a Lenovo Update that regresses something on the system I've had for the past year and a half...

I can confirm this problem. It is very annoying to have to reset mouse scroll speed 5-10 times a day because I use my dock very often. I have found no fix, whether temporary or permanent, to this problem. I am using driver version 16.1xxxx (the latest "upgrade") and am very annoyed by this problem. I hope Lenovo techs can help us.
Have You tried removing the driver and installing an older version? The one that You know worked?

"UltraNav Utility" vs "UltraNav Driver" for T400

I have a T400 and after installing UltraNav Driver x64, I have all the functionalities, Control Panel settings, etc. I wonder what UltraNav Utility is then which appears on my update lists.
T400 2764CTO, Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Hello,
it could be that "the UltraNav utility enables the Fn-F8 shortcut when used in conjunction with the ThinkPad Hot Key Utility". Or it may provide "more fluid and comfortable crusor [sic] movement" (Googelberged from notebookreview forum).
Another possibility could be, that it enables more detailed configuration of the touch pad.

UltraNav driver

My touchpad has stopped working. I have installed the latest driver but it still does not work. When I try to run any UltraNav applications (like UltraNav Wizard) it says "UltraNav driver is not installed". Yet when I look in "Add or Remove Programs", it shows up there. How do I get this to work again?
Thanks.

Normally it would not be disabled in BIOS after an update, if you hadn't already disabled it. The default setting is for it to be enabled. You can check it in BIOS by pressing F1 at boot and then navigating to the Config > Keyboard/Mouse menu. If it helps you have a look in the BIOS Simulator first.

Ultranav Driver Not Installing

Hello,
My touchpad has not been working for over a month. It just stopped working one day. I have already verified that it is not locked. I have tried to reinstall the ultranav driver and my lenovo support center had an ultranav update but whenever I go through the download process and even restart my computer the driver will not show up as installed. i have also uninstalled my synaptic driver in case this was the source of error. Anybody know why the ultranav driver is not installed? I really need my touchpad to work so I'm not doomed to carrying out a mouse (it looks quite silly...)

@Tonya2015...
Please tell us which ThinkPad model you have. Also, are you showing any items in Device Manager with "!" ?
Regards.

Restoring previous UltraNav driver to disable smooth scrolling

The latest system update installed UltraNav driver 16.1.1.0 of 4/6/2012. This apparently implements smooth scrolling which is very nice to use BUT it significantly reduces my battery life. I'd like to optimise battery life and return to my previous scrolling functionality.
I'd appreciate advice on how to determine which version of the driver I was running before this update, and how can I restore that version of the driver. (I tried using the roll-back function in Windows Device Manager but that installed version 7.5.27.24 of 7/6/2007 which disbaled scrolling altogether.)

Windows XP SP3

I stumbled onto the Fn-F8 facility for managing UltraNav and realise that I was confusing the smooth-scrolling function introduced in recent versions of FireFox with the EdgeMotion function in UltraNav which was presumable introduced on my system when I upgraded UltraNav from 7.5.17.24 to 16.1.1.0. I have disabled smooth-scrolling in FireFox but enabled EdgeMotion in UltraNav which seems like a nice compromise between convenience and power consumption.
I still have minor quibbles with UltraNav, specifically, when I try to scroll within drop-down boxes in my usual Web applications (like Redmine, for example) the drop-down pane immediately disappears. I have to drag the pane control on the right (sorry, don't know the correct name for this) to find the option to select. Before the upgrade I could scroll within dropdowns on the trackpad. I also have a little block with up and down marks appearing to the left of the pointer arrow when I scroll which wasn't there before. I'd appreciate any advice about addressing these issues.
