Office 2007 on a Thinkpad? UltraNav Support for Scrolling Fix
Like me if you have an IBM Thinkpad machine and you’ve updated to Microsoft Office 2007 the you’ll be pretty flustered when you can’t use your UltraNav scroller button (which I think is the greatest invention since sliced bread). So to fix it so you can simply do the following:
- Navigate to %ProgramFiles%\Synaptics\SynTP
- Locate the file called tp4table.dat
- Open it with it Notepad and add the following lines:
- Now open the Media folder and repeat the above steps for TP4SCROL.dat and TP4TABLE.dat
- Now restart you computer and off you go back to the wonderful world of scrolling with the UltraNav Scroller

Just as a pointer, this is a dirty quick fix just until a new driver release is formulated so I reccomend you simply not just copy and paste this, but only use the lines you need. For example if you only have Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and OneNote then only use the lines that have those application names (WINWORD.exe, EXCEL.exe, OUTLOOK.exe, and ONENOTE.exe).
That’s all…. enjoy
Bonus: If you’re using iTunes and you can’t scroll in iTunes, then simply add the following to the same three files mentioned above:
