Trackpoint disabled when docked PS/2 mouse is added

I have a Lenovo T60 that when undocked the Trackpoint and touchpad work as expected. My docking stations has an older Logitech TrackMan "track ball" plugged into the PS/2 port. When I dock my laptop neither the trackpoint or touchpad will work. I can reboot, ect and they still won't work. If while docked I unplug the trackball the Trackpoint pointstick and touchpad will start working again.
Is it possible to have both the PS/2 trackball and the Trackpoint pointstick work at the same time? The pointstick is great for emails but you can't beat the trackball for game play.
Thanks in advance

tiresmoke, you're right. however my mouse stays on even when the system is shutdown. and i've used about three different mice in the last year or so, and about three different PSUs, as well as the different mobos. thats why i put it down to "one of those things to live with" the only slight problem i have is that my current mouse is wireless, so it just drains the batteries

Tecra 8000 TV out when docked

The docking station for the Tecra8000 doen't replicate the TVout connector, but I have a right-angled cable that fits the normal TV out port when docked and allows the cable to clear the docking unit. Is the TV Out connector normally disabled when docked, and is there a registry setting or something in 98SE to re-enable it?
I connect my Tecra to a TV set to watch DivX movies on the large screen, with the audio out going to my stereo, but I need to use the unit with the replicator because the server containing my video files is on a network, so I need the network capability. I COULD use a PCMCIA network adapter, but then that defeats the object of a docking station with the LAN!!

Hi Retro
I am a little bit confused. As far as I know some Tecra 8000 have no LAN card. If your unit has LAN card and LAN port why you dont connect the unit directly on TV and LAN without Port Replicator?
I am not 100% sure if the port is disabled but you can test it if you can. If there is no success you must use PCMCIA network adapter.

Windows 8 jumpy mouse on T530 when docked

I am having a problem with my T530 and Windows 8 Enterprise. The mouse gets very jerky and jumpy when the cursor changes...i.e. if I move it across a text box and the mouse icon changes from the arrow to a cursor. The strange thing is this only happens when docked. If I undock the laptop, I have no problems.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any ideas?? I have tried updating drivers but nothing has worked.

Dear _g_g_ ,
Thank You For Contacting Lenovo.
Would you please send us a screen shot for the Mouse driver on the Device manager page.
Waiting for your kind reply.

Having touchpad auto disable when external usb mouse is present

Apparently as hardware and drivers change this feature got dropped. Just purchased a Probook 450 and was very used to my touchpad having the option to turn off when a external usb mouse (logitech wireless) was plugged in. This new system had no such feature and I spent several hours searching for a solution of reason why.
Finally found one I took a shot on that worked just like I was used too. Now when usb mouse is inserted the pc pops up message saying touchpad disabled and when unplugged the touchpad comes back on and pc pops up message saying pad enabled. No software change. No hardware change. Just a simple registry edit and feature back on.
Seems after doing my searches I might as well share this info for those looking for the answer.
***disclaimers***
*make sure your usb mouse works before you do this because if it dose not and this fails to work or you do it wrong you may have no "mouse" to navigate with.
*warning- editing the windows registry is not something for the clueless*- errors can cause major problems that said this is a very simple simple fix and hp should just perma fix it for all synaptics touchpad laptops.
*can not test this with non synaptics touchpads tho it may work if you can find the registry entry for that brand*
*this was done on windows 7 system with Synaptics touch pad and my prior one was windows 7 and so was my wifes dell laptop, all Synaptics, all Windows 7- no clue on windows 8 or vista*
*if someone has found an easier fix post it because took me hours to even find this*
Windows 7 OS- Start menu- in the programs and files box at bottom type "regedit" without the quotes and press enter.
Click ok to continue on popup box. Window comes up with your system registry. Expand the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" then expand the "Software" then down to the "Synaptics" and expand that one. Left Click on the "SynTPEnh" and to right will open the sub entries. The one your looking for is "DisableIntPDFeature". Just write down the last two numbers in the ( ) at far right of this line incase this does not work so you can put it back to what it was. Once you wrote it down, now you can change it- right click on the DisableIntPDFeature and a window pops up. Left click on "Modify..." then in new popup window on right side left click on decimal and in the window on left of this popup type in the numbers 51. Left click OK once numbers entered and close it and and then close the whole application and reboot. Done. System should auto switch from usb mouse to Synaptics touchpad.
If it does not work I am sorry- follow the above steps and type back in the number you wrote down before the change and save and reboot or reinstall the mousepad driver for your system from hp.

T61 Keyboard disabled when external USB mouse plugged.

Hi,
I have a T61 with WinXP SP3. Also a Microsoft 4000 wireless USB mouse. If I plug in the mouse too early in the boot process, they keyboard and ultranav stop functioning (probably disabled somehow). The external mouse still works. How to change this functionality?
Thanks!

I use a Microsoft 3000 USB-attached mouse.
I plug the mouse dongle into the USB port BEFORE pushing the Power On switch, and have never had any trouble.

How can I disable the dock?

I've become attached to the hotkeying program Butler and decided I don't want to use my dock anymore. I have used Onyx and System Preferences options to make it tiny and get it to the corner of the screen, but when my mouse heads to that side of the screen, the dock still appears.
Is there any way to completely disable the dock? Basically, I never want to see it again, in any form. I've checked around the forums and nobody seems to have an answer for this...and won't just permanently killing the process mess up my Expose?
Thanks.

You may have better success hiding the Dock by setting it to the top of the screen, rather than the side.
"Since this requires you to carefully point at the pixel at the base of the menu bar to activate the Dock I rarely see it."

The "text in a yellow box" that appears when I hover the mouse over a selection or help tag.

The "help tag" (Or in most cases the unwanted tag) often is in the way of what I want to look at.
This is especially true when you are looking at an item that has it's own pop up giving you a description or information.
When you hold the mouse over say.... a movie icon in XFinity, the icon of the movie expands and gives a brief synopsis, date and actors of said movie.
Unfortunately, I cannot read the synopsis for the "Help Tag" blocks all the content forcing you to try different ways of pointing to the movie icon so you can read parts of the discretion from every angle of approach then piece it altogether in your mind.
I DO NOT want "help tag". It is extremely annoying and time consuming ergo it des not "help" it hinders.
Can it not be disabled (Like balloon help in OS 9) so you do not have to feel anger and frustration every time you see that yellow tag?

Ooo, I did not notice the article was from 2007. Thansk for pointing that out. I don't think I am going to try it. It seems that with all the "little" apps the seem to keep growing in numbers, someone will come up with a solid program that would wok through system prefs. I would pay the normal $20.00 for an app like that.

MacBook Pro Display (window) shifts off the screen when I move my mouse

With a slight move with my magic mouse, my entire open window will shift completely off the screen with only a part of the window still visible. I have to click on the exposed edge of the window for it to shift back into place. It's only the window of the program that I have open that moves. The dock and the desktop image stays in place. I'm using an HP external monitor now but it was doing this before I hooked up the monitor. I've tried maximizing and minimizing my window but that does not seem to have an effect. Could it be the magic mouse? Thanks in advance for any help.

Wow. The power of Google is truly amazing. Just a little while ago, my husband was going nuts with our computer. I googled the words 'when I move my mouse to the left, the screen moves to the right'. And, Eureka! What do you think was the first thing that popped up on Google?
Well, the answer to my question, of course!:P Which led me right to here. It may not have been me that asked the question, but this did answer MY question!
Apparently this applies to Leopard too. Thanks alot!

How to force safari to open a new window when dock icon is clicked

If Safari is already running on my MacBook Yosemite, and I click on the Safari icon in the dock, the Safari window is brought forward. The behavior I want is whenever I click the safari icon on the dock, is that a new safari browser window is opened. I don't see this option in preferences (or any keyboard mouse combination) that would make the dock icon open a new browser window. (an option is available for new windows if you click on a hyperlink, but not if you click on the dock icon) .
p.s. And I don't want to first have to place focus on the current running safari and then click File New...too many steps when all I want is a new browser window
Thanks in advance

Hi css,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to click on Safari in your Dock and have it open a new Safari Window. As you said in your post, clicking on Safari in the Dock brings the Safari window forward. There are a couple of possibilities to help resolve this situation. You can control-click (right click if enabled) on Safari in your Dock which will give you the option to open a new window. You can also click and hold on Safari, otherwise known as Press, to display these same options.

Disable touchpad and ps/2 mouse simultanious work

Hi everyone,
I have dell Latitude c640 with Arch Voodoo, kernel26suspend2.
How could I disable simultanious work of the touchpad and the ps/2 mouse. I want when I plug the mouse, the touchpad to be disabled, and when I unplug it the touchpad to start working again.
This was possible on my previous Del latitude l400 by default, again with arch, but with stock kernel26.
Any ideas, how to do this?

Hi darkhawk,
Will a RMA require me to send it back and if I send it back with MSi not honor the warranty because of the sticker on the bottom?
Can I get them to send me the part to replace instead?
Thanks.
Read the FAQ for notebooks.
MSI uses the stickers to deter people from opening the notebook and messing with it. They do this to keep people from breaking their own notebooks. If you obviously did not cause the problem (such as this case it seems....), then there is no reason to worry about them not honoring the warranty.
You will most likely have to ship the entire notebook to them.
I'm not sure if they will ship you the part. Your best bet is to just contact them.

Problems with Dock, Exposé and Mouse functions

First: Sorry for my bad english.
The function that the symbols in Dock are getting bigger and smaller by placing the mouse on them doesn´t work.
The functions in the corners (Exposé, dashboard,...) don´t work.
The same with my right mouseclick.
I can´t put something in my trash. I can grab a folders but not put in in the trash.
The same with my "Top Sites". They are show´n but i can´t use them.
There are different other little things wrong, but there must be a solution for all the stuff, cause everything has broken today.
Thanks for your support.

System sleep settings become disabled when speech recognition is enabled. Is this by design?

There was another setting in bois I found that required scrolling in the bios screen. Tricky to find with no mouse.
I am not sure if some day these terminologies can be standardized so someone can follow very specific instructions rather than vague instructions that are further obfuscated with the use of technical acronyms.
That is the problem, that error message in VM is not explicit enough as to what steps to take to correct the problem. These bois screen authors decide arbitrarily to name settings as it relates to their world personally and there are not standards.
I still don't know how that got changed in the first place but that is not an issue with VM ware as to what else is changing the setting.
Do you have any explicit suggestions as to how the error message can be improved?

Hold the shift key upon boot, that will disable any boot loading third party kernel extension files.
Once you get in:
1: backup your user file folders to a external storage drive
2: go around and update all your third party software everywhere, including right clicking on third party system preference panes and removing them if necessary
3: any third party software that can't be updated, consider removing.
4: Look in your Console log files for "kernal protection" type messages to get a clue what's causing your problems.
Read about Gray, White and Blue, Kernel Panics here, they are usually always caused by third party software incompatibilities, but not always.

The T61 internal mic does not work when docked

The internal mic does not work when docked. However works fine when undocked.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I go this issue very recently. What I did to solve the problem was probably mentioned before somwehre over the web.
First of all, I degraded Skype from the latest version to skype 6.1.0.129. Then I went in Skype - Tools - Option - Advanced Settings - Automatic Updates and click "Turn off automatic updates" and Save. I closed (Quit Skype) Skype then.
I clicked on Start (in toolbar) and in search area typed Device Meneger. Then in Sound Video and game controlers, highlite and right click on mouse on IDT High Definition Audio Codec and press Unistall. This will unistall IDT drivers from the system. You must restart your computer.
Once you come back after reboot, you must go again to the Sound Video and game controlers and remove the rest part of your driver. After reboot go Sound Video and game controlers and click "Scan for hardware changes" then system find your IDT Sound Card again. Please install the latest driver (6.10.6367.0) and reboot. After reboot you should have mic working while on Skype.
