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.

❑If the pointer does not move while playing a disc, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to stop playback and restart 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.

My floppy disk drive can not write to a diskette
