    Hi,
    I use the middle mouse button to scroll, and a dialog box called "Trackpoint Scrolling Tips" frequently coming up when I hold the middle mouse button down as I scroll.

    There is a checkbox that says "never show this box again," but even when I check it, the box keeps coming back.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    TIA!

    Yup, I tried unclicking that checkbox too, but no luck.
    Google search turns up others with the same prob, but no solution :p

    I was about to say that the only solution I'm aware of is to hold the button down instead of toggling scroll on/off. But I just tried it and it looks like I don't get the window popping up while toggling anymore. So, play around with the settings--there's got to be something in there to take care of it.

    It typically goes away for about 30 min, but after that, it returns like a zombie!
