Apple PowerBook (Duo, 2300 Series) - Manual (Page 102)

When I use the trackpad to drag, the item I’m dragging doesn’t always go where I want,
or the drag stops before I want it to.
m The computer automatically ends a drag after a certain amount of time has
passed. Continue the drag more quickly, or turn on Drag Lock in the
Trackpad control panel. When Drag Lock is on, the drag will not end until
you tap the trackpad.
When I use the trackpad to select text or items, dragging doesn’t seem to work as I
expect, or the drag gets “stuck.”
m To select a word and then drag it, double-click and drag; to select a line
and drag it, triple-click and drag.
m If Drag Lock is on, remember to tap the trackpad after selecting text or
other items to end the drag.
Keyboard
Typing on the keyboard produces nothing on the screen.
m Make sure the program you’re using is set to accept text input. Usually
you need to set an insertion point or select some text before typing. If
you’re using a communications program, you may need to turn on the
“local echo” setting.
m Open the Easy Access control panel and make sure Slow Keys is
turned off.
m Open Key Caps in the Apple (K) menu and check whether the computer is
recognizing keyboard input. If so, the keys in the Key Caps window will
darken when keys are pressed on the keyboard.
A key won’t stop repeating.
m Open Key Caps in the Apple (K) menu. If any keys in the window are
darkened, keys may be stuck down on your keyboard. This problem is
sometimes related to an incorrectly installed RAM expansion card. Review
the RAM card installation instructions in the Technical Information booklet
that came with your computer.
