Using pointing devices
NOTE: In addition to the pointing devices included with your computer, you can use an external
USB mouse (purchased separately) by connecting it to one of the USB ports on the computer.
Setting pointing device preferences
Use Mouse Properties in Windows to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button
configuration, click speed, and pointer options.
To access Mouse Properties:
Windows 7—Select Start > Devices and Printers. Then right-click the device representing your
computer, and select Mouse settings.
Windows Vista—Select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse.
Using the pointing stick
Press the pointing stick in the direction you want to move the pointer on the screen. Use the left and
right pointing stick buttons as you would the left and right buttons on an external mouse.
Using the TouchPad
To move the pointer, slide one finger across the TouchPad in the direction you want the pointer to go.
Use the left and right TouchPad buttons like the buttons on an external mouse. To scroll up and down
using the TouchPad vertical scroll zone, slide your finger up or down the right-side of the TouchPad.
NOTE: If you are using the TouchPad to move the pointer, you must lift your finger off the
TouchPad before moving it to the scroll zone. Simply sliding your finger from the TouchPad to the
scroll zone does not activate the scrolling function.
