Getting Started

Using the TouchPad™

If the computer does not recognize the memory configuration, turn off the computer and remove the memory module slot cover (complete steps 1-8in “Installing a memory module” on page 48), and then check that the module is inserted completely into the socket and lined up squarely with the socket latches.

NOTE

From time to time, Windows® will display a pop-up that says,

 

“Windows® needs your permission to continue.” This is a security

 

feature to prevent programs or people from doing things on your

 

computer without your permission. If you were trying to perform the

 

action, click Continue; otherwise, click Cancel. If unsure, cancel and

 

try again.

 

 

Using the TouchPad

The TouchPad, the small, smooth, square cutout located in front of the keyboard, is sensitive to touch and enables you to move the cursor with the stroke of a finger. Simply move your finger on the TouchPad in the direction you would like to move the cursor:

To move the cursor to the top of the page, push your finger forward on the TouchPad.

To move the cursor to the bottom of the page, drag your finger toward yourself.

To move the cursor to the right side of the page, slide your finger across the TouchPad from left to right.

To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to left.

NOTE

Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display screen,

 

moving your cursor across the screen often means having to move

 

your finger several times across the TouchPad in the preferred

 

direction.

 

 

Once you have positioned your cursor, you can click it into place by either double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control buttons.
