Troubleshooting the Mouse and Touchpad

Troubleshooting the Mouse and Touchpad

My mouse does not work.

❑If you are using an external mouse, check that the mouse is plugged into the

mouse connector. See “Connecting a PS/2 External Mouse or Keyboard” in the online VAIO® Notebook User Guide for more information.

❑If you are using an optional Sony USB mouse PCGA-UMS1 series, check that the mouse is plugged into the USB port.

❑If you are still experiencing problems, use your supplied Driver Recovery CD to reinstall the mouse drivers. See “Using the Driver Recovery CD” on page 40 for more information.

My touchpad does not work properly.

❑You may have disabled the touchpad without connecting a mouse to the notebook. To enable the touchpad:

1Press the Windows key and use the arrow keys to select Programs, and then Sony Notebook Setup.

2Select the Touchpad tab using the arrow keys.

3Select Enable Touchpad, and then press Enter.

(Please check the instructions that came with your notebook.)

❑You must restart the notebook to make the touchpad work again.

❑If your touchpad is interpreting a single tap as a double-click, you must adjust the button assignments. Follow these steps:

1Press the Windows key and use the arrow keys to select Control Panel, and then Mouse.

2Change the button assignments in the Mouse Properties dialog box. (One of the buttons is assigned to the double-click action.)

❑If you are still experiencing problems, ensure that another mouse was not installed.

❑You may need to use your Driver Recovery CD to reinstall the mouse drivers. See “Using the Driver Recovery CD” on page 40 for more information.
