Topic: My keyboard does not work.

❑Check that the keyboard is securely plugged into the Keyboard port.

❑Save and close all open applications. Turn off your computer, wait approximately 10 seconds, and then restart your computer.

Topic: I cannot find the Windows® taskbar.

The Windows taskbar may be hidden or minimized.

❑Use the mouse to locate a hidden taskbar by pointing to the left, right, top, and bottom edges of the screen. The taskbar appears when the cursor is placed over its location.

1 Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties from the shortcut menu. 2 Clear the check box for Autohide the taskbar, then click OK.

❑Use the mouse to locate a minimized taskbar by pointing to the left, right, top and bottom edges of the display screen. The taskbar has been located when the cursor changes to a double arrow cursor. Left-click and drag away from the edge of the display screen. The minimized taskbar resizes and becomes visible.

Topic: Why is my system running slowly?

❑The system responsiveness varies depending with the number of applications that are open and running. Close any applications that you are not currently using.

❑Increasing the system memory may also help. For information on installing memory, please see the online VAIO User Guide.

Topic: How do I install a printer?

❑If your printer has a USB, IEEE1394, or infrared connection, contact the printer manufacturer for information or updates that may be required for proper installation.

❑Check the printer manufacturer’s Web site for the latest drivers for your operating system before proceeding with installation. Some printers do not function properly without the updated drivers for specific operating systems.
