I have finished installing software and games to laprop from previous post, so I moved to another of the four pieces that have arrived.

This one is a Compaq Armada M700. It has a sticker with a Windows 98 licence, so I inserted my installer CD and set up the OS. Everything worked fine, the CD booted without a problem, but the cursor does not move (another faulty mouse). I tried both trackpoint and touchpad and nothing worked. I later discovered that the part that looks like a touchpad is just a piece of plastic that holds the buttons for the trackpoint.



The first thing I would do is try to get USB plug and play to detect and install USB disk drivers, so I would be able to try different drivers transferred via USB drive, as I have my PCMCIA card with CF reader packed somewhere in the basement after moving.

So I hope I would be able to make it work and not repeat the usuccessful attempt with the previous non-working touchpad. So..fingers crossed
