Checking total memory

When you add or remove memory, you can check that the
computer has recognized the change. To do this:
1Click Start, then click Control Panel.
2Click Performance and Maintenance.
3Click System.
4The General tab view automatically appears and shows
total memory.
If the computer does not recognize the memory
configuration, turn off the computer, remove the memory slot
cover, and make sure the memory module is seated properly,
as described in step 10 of “Installing additional memory
(optional)” on page 62.
Using an external keyboard
If you prefer to use a full-size keyboard, you can attach one to
your computer. The computer’s USB port supports any USB-
compatible keyboard.
Using a mouse
You may want to use a mouse instead of the computer’s built-
in TouchPad. You can use a USB-compatible mouse.
After logging on to your system, the mouse cursor may move
to the upper-right side of the screen. If this occurs, push the
Esc or Windows key to return it to its original position.
