Go to IBM website and look for drivers for your computer model (T41) and locate the network drivers. (This obviously has to be done from another computer with internet access). Download and save the setup file to a flash drive and then run the setup on the IBM T41

How to use the function (Fn) keys on the keyboard - ThinkPad T40, T40p, T41, T41p, T42, T42p, T43, T43p


Switching the display output location.
Switch between the computer display and an external monitor. If an external monitor is attached, the computer output is displayed in the following three patterns by turns:

• External monitor (CRT display)
• Computer display and external monitor (LCD + CRT display)
• Computer display (LCD)

Notes:

• For any operating system other than Windows 2000 or Windows XP, no additional procedure is needed. Just press Fn+F7.
• This function is not supported if different desktop images are displayed on the computer display and the external monitor (the Extend desktop function).
• This function does not work while a DVD movie or a video clip is playing.

To enable this function in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the following procedure is needed:

1. When you log on to Windows 2000 and Windows XP for the first time, press Fn + F7 and select a display-switching function in the Initial setup window. Since in Windows 2000 and Windows XP multiple users can log on to a single operating system by using different user IDs, each user needs to select the function in the initial setup window when logging on for the first time.
2. If the Fn + F7 key combination have been assigned to a presentation scheme function, start Presentation Director, and change the settings.

You maybe able to get the video driver from IBM/Lenovo WEB site.

The same model ThinkPad can have different types of network, video and audio drivers and unless you know exactly which one is installed in your ThinkPad, you need to download all the drivers and install each driver until you find the right driver.
When you download the drivers, write down the device driver and it’s file name so you have a record of which driver you are installing and which directory the unzipped files are located on your hard drive.
Go to the IBM/Lenovo WEB site - support/download page and download the latest Windows XP or Vista device drivers for your model computer, Use this link: -
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=%2Fproductselection%2Flandingpages%2FbrowseByProductLandingPage.vm&sitestyle=lenovo&brandind=10&validate=true
You can download the various drivers and then you click on and run the various driver files, they will then unzip and expand into a sub folder on C:drivers Then install the various drivers from this folder (run the set-up file).

If No Windows 7 Driver Has Been Issued, You Use The Vista Driver

you can try looking at the manufacturers website for a driver update to your trackpoint http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-46258.html#mouse

Try turning off the tap to click option. This should resolve accidentally dragging things where they don't need to be.

Better option...if you're using this laptop at home just invest in a wireless mouse and set the laptop to disable the trackpoint when an external mouse is detected.

trackpoint=mousepad=touchpad

Make sure the downloaded driver is for XP and not Vista and they are specific to your model laptop.
After downloading the driver file, when you run the file it unzips the file and copies it to your hard disk (take a note of the file folder it creates on your hard disk). Then you need to go to that folder and run the setup file and it will install the audio driver.
This also applies to all the drivers you download and wish to install.

Go to this site. Look for the chipset or usb driver.
