Using your VAIO computer

Using the mouse

The VAIO wheel mouse allows you to control the cursor in a number of ways. You can point to, select, drag and scroll objects on the screen using the buttons and the wheel. Your computer is delivered with a VAIO PS/2 optical mouse, which uses a light-emitting diode (LED) instead of a ball. Avoid using the mouse on a piece of glass or other transparent material, as this can interfere with smooth cursor movement on the screen.

The mouse has the following functions:

Turn the central wheel to scroll up or down a page.

You can adjust the mouse pointer speed and other functions under Mouse Properties. To display Mouse Properties, go to the Control Panel, select Printers and Other Hardware, then select Mouse.
