Hi Jon, 

I can't find any of the files tp4*.dat on my PC (I'm running Windows 7) - see console output below.

And I do get the trackpoint events, they are just delayed until I release that button;
on release I get hundreds of correct events scrolling my window to somewhere.
How many events I get depends on how long or how intense I pressed the track point (sounds reasonable to me).

Paul.
