Using the mouse
The VAIO wheel mouse allows you to control the cursor in a number of ways. You can point to, select, drag,
and scroll objects on the screen using the buttons and the wheel.
You can adjust the mouse pointer speed and other functions under Mouse Properties. To display Mouse
Properties, go to the Control Panel, select Printers and Other Hardware, then select Mouse.
✍ You can set the mouse up for left-hand use. See the Troubleshooting (page 51) section for details.
