    You'll need to install the Thinkpad UltraNav drivers on your notebook. My T60 didn't automatically receive them when installing Windows 7 (Build 7068). I just downloaded the Vista version from Lenovo's Web site. The trackpoint now works flawlessly. I would link you, but I dunno what model ya got. :)

    Did you download the utility?

    I think you need to pull that down if you want to mess with the settings. I love the defaults, so I don't bother adding unnecessary software to clutter up the computer.

    I did not install any other drivers -- just the UltraNav stuff. 7 seems to come with most of what I needed; I don't want to rock the boat too much. The fn+brightness keys work, but there is no on-screen notification, the screen just changes.
