Update synaptics to more recent versions? (sorry, don´t exactly know what version is installed on that particular machine) Same would go for the Lenovo System Interface Driver.

Seems related to these two threads. Maybe your solution would be that of the second thread.

Do you use the UltraNav wizard/utility as well?

Maybe the problem is indeed that you use the latest versions :) Sometimes, earlier versions work better.
