I cannot say whether it's a "solution" or "workaround". If I had the WinXPPro installed that was shipped with the laptop I could figure out... Maybe that's the behaviour of the BIOS to hide the touchpad from the OS if a USB mouse is plugged in. Wait, my girlfriend had an IBM-laptop and depending on when she plugged the PS/2 mouse either both (trackpin + mouse) or just the mouse worked in Windows2k... It was an older model, maybe X series.
