You can customize the OmniBook to support enhanced touch pad features (see the next

 

topic). If you do this, keep in mind that you are selecting enhanced features for the touch

 

pad only. You cannot activate enhanced features for both simultaneously.

 

To customize the operation of the touch pad or pointing stick, see the section “Using the

 

OmniBook Pointing Devices” in the online Reference Guide.

Under Windows 2000, enhanced features for the pointing stick and touch pad are not

 

available at this time. Check the Customer Care website

 

(http://www.hp.com/cposupport/eschome.html) for PS/2 TrackPoint and touch pad

 

device drivers for Windows 2000. The default pointing device driver is the standard
