If you connected an external mouse while your notebook is on, you must
restart your notebook.
If you are using an optional Sony USB mouse PCGA-UMS1, check that the
mouse is plugged into the USB connector.
My touchpad does not work properly
You may have disabled the touchpad without a mouse being connected to the
notebook. You must restart the notebook to make the touchpad work again.
If your touchpad is interpreting a single tap as a double-click, you must
adjust the button assignments. Follow these steps:
1 Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click on the Mouse icon.
2 Change the button assignments in the Mouse Properties dialog box.
(One of the buttons is assigned to the double-click action.)
The pointer does not move while using the Touchpad or Mouse
Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, and select Shut Down to
display the Shut Down Windows dialog box, then press Enter.
If you cannot turn off your notebook as described in the step above, press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart the notebook.
If you cannot restart your notebook as described in the step above, press and
hold the power button for more than four seconds to turn off the notebook.
If the pointer does not move while playing a disc, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to
stop playback and restart the notebook.
Troubleshooting drives, PC cards and peripheral devices
I inserted a compatible device into the multipurpose drive bay, but the icon
does not appear in the My Computer window
The device has not been recognized. Put the notebook into System Idle mode
by pressing the Fn and S keys and then resume.
If the device is still not recognized or does not appear in the My Computer
window, remove and reinsert it.
