Or a more rude approach? ----------- IIRC, most trackpad problems are caused by buildup of grime and grease from fingers. Before you go disconnecting things the PB is looking for at startup, I'd consider doing a thorough job of cleaning it with the proper chemicals. I use some stuff that's in my VCR cleaning kit...I don't know what it is, but it cleans well, doesn't harm plastic, and leaves no residue.
