Have to install pointing device on each boot

[Guest BW]

I have an IBM Thinkpad z61m. Everytime I boot the machine it tells me that

it is installing the UltraNav pointing device and that it hasn't passed

Microsoft certification. It asks if it should continue anyway or stop the

installation. My question is, why does it have to install it on each boot?

I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for that device. What is

wrong and how do I fix this?

 

Thanks for your help.

Re: Have to install pointing device on each boot

 

The usual reason this occurs is that the manufacturers install sequence

was not followed and the operating system "rediscovers" the hardware

each time it starts up because of "missing" registry entries. Since this

hardware came as part of the computer, the drivers should have been part

of the factory install image. Did you replace the operating system on

this laptop? I would likely try doing a "uninstall" of the hardware,

then install the new drivers and reboot.
