1.Press and hold down the left TouchPad button as you move the slider on the Settings tab. The image on the monitor illustrated above the slide bar changes as you move the slide bar.

2.When the image on the illustrated monitor is the image you would like to use on the notebook, select the OK button, then follow the instructions on the screen.

For information about setting other screen preferences in the Display Properties window, use context-sensitive Help. To use context-sensitive Help, select the question mark button in the upper right corner of the window, then select an item. A definition, explanation, or procedure is displayed.

Protecting the Notebook Against Viruses

When you use the notebook for email, network, or Internet access, you expose the notebook to computer viruses. Computer viruses can disable the operating system, your applications, or your utilities or cause them to function abnormally.

Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in most cases, repair any damage they have caused.

Compaq strongly recommends that you install optional antivirus software before using the modem or a network connection. Antivirus software is available from most computer or electronics retailers.
