Hi, I'm having the same problem with a Latitude C600. I've re-installed and updated the mouse & pad drivers, this made no difference. Will you let me know if you resolve your problem? I'll re-post if I manage to sort it out too!

I found a driver for my hardware, which seems to have fixed the problem.

I found it on this site.. not sure if i got this from you, or i just found it on my own--

 

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/

 

the driver i found is the file:///C:/downloads/R113813.EXE

 which installs an "alps" driver i believe,

 

when i then put in to modify the "mouse controls", which i had done before,

NOW it gave me the option of removing the eraser joystick type device... so i removed that,

and now (so far) i am not getting the annoying drift!!  :)

 

Hooray!

 

good luck, and let me know how u make out,

Hi, I found some new drivers on the Dell site.. I found other people with the same

problem on this website, but they didn't seem to find good solutions..

 

I have installed the new drivers, but so far has not helped. :(  I am really not happy with

the lack of help from dell in all this...

but i shall eventually fix this, I am sure, but I shouldnt have to devote so much of my own time

to fix what should be dell's problem..

thx for your note, also let me know if u get a solution, and I shall do the same.

Just downloaded a driver that lets you disable the pointing Stick, pad and/or buttons at this link:  http://support.euro.dell.com/support/topics/topic.aspx/emea/shared/support/root/en/product_support_central?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn

 

Select your model and go to drivers and downloads, then mouse and keyboards.

Ken, just disabled the pointing stick too. It seems to have been the problem, the drift has stopped!

Hip! Hip! Horray!

Cheers, nice talking
