Peter,

Just fired up the laptop and it handles the pad just as if it were a normal mouse. When you click on mouse in the control panel, it just says the pad is a Pointing Device on the PS2 port. However, all of the adjustments such as speed, acelleration, etc, effect the touch pad until a mouse is connected. When the mouse is plugged in to the USB the computer immediately recognized the mouse as well, and both the USB mouse and the touch pad were effected equally. I assume they are connected in parallel. This was done using Windows 2000 Professional. I'll try it later on using my Dell with Windows XP Home Edition and let you know what happens.

Good Luck,

Gary
