Using pointing devices

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, select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse.

Using the TouchPad

To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad surface in the direction you want the pointer
to go. Use the TouchPad buttons like the corresponding buttons on an external mouse. To scroll up and
down using the TouchPad vertical scroll zone, slide your finger up or down over the lines.

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 will
not activate the scrolling function.

Connecting an external mouse

You can connect an external USB mouse to the computer using one of the USB ports on the computer.
A USB mouse can also be connected to the system using the ports on an optional docking device or
expansion product.
