VAIO Notebook User Guide

❑If you connected an external mouse while your notebook is on, you must restart your notebook.

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

My touchpad does not work properly.

❑You may have disabled the touchpad without a mouse being connected to the 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:

1 Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click on the Mouse icon.

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

The pointer does not move (while using the Touchpad or Mouse).

❑Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, and select Shut Down to display the Shut Down Windows dialog box, then press Enter.

❑If you cannot turn off your notebook as described in the step above, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart the notebook.

❑If you cannot restart your notebook as described in the step above, press and hold the power button for more than four seconds to turn off the notebook.

Troubleshooting drives, PC cards and peripheral devices

I inserted a compatible device into the multipurpose drive bay, but the icon does not appear in the My Computer window.

❑The device has not been recognized. Put the notebook into System Idle mode by pressing the Fn and S keys and then resume.

❑If the device is still not recognized or does not appear in the My Computer window, remove and reinsert it.
