R51 Can't Enable Trackpoint. Please help

#1 Post by daviddep » Fri Dec 25, 2009 2:14 pm

When attempting to enable TrackPoint in the UltraNav Menu under Mouse Properties; The Trackpoint Settings/Enable Options are "Greyed Out". I can change the "TouchPad" settings, but again, the TrackPoint section of the Menu is greyed out. THe "Use as pointing device with advanced features is selected, but Trackpoint does not work.
No external Mouse is used .

Thank for any help. I'm a PC user, not a PC fixer .

Trackpoint may be disabled in the BIOS. Check there (press F1 on startup).
