    I tried this on my ThinkPad (x200 Tablet) and Desktop (Custom with Space Saver II USB keyboard [includes TrackPoint]). However, I wasn't able to install it on either.

    I got an error that "Sorry, trackpoint data file not found. Find Path: %system32%tp4table.dat, %programfiels%Lenovo\TrackPoint\tp4table.dat This software only test on ThinkPad X60 If you know your ThinkPad's trackpoint data file path, please let me know, email: [email protected], t"

    If you have any suggestions I am happy to hear them. I would very much like to get trackpoint scrolling in iTunes, horizontal in Firefox, et. al. on both my ThinkPad and desktop.

    This may be worth a look.

    Comparing to other notebook manufacturers Lenovo keeps its drivers updated most of the time...
