Troubleshooting the Mouse and Pointing Device
My mouse does not work.
❑ If you are using an external mouse, check that the mouse cable is plugged
into the USB port. See “Connecting a USB Mouse” for details. Note that a
serial mouse or PS/2® mouse is not compatible with the VAIO® C1
PictureBook® computer.
❑ If you connect an external mouse while your computer is on, you must
restart your computer.
❑ If you are using an optional Sony USB mouse, such as the PCGA-UMS1
series, check that the mouse is plugged into the USB port.
❑ Re-install the mouse/touchstick drivers. See “Using Your Recovery CDs” for
more information.
My pointing device does not work properly.
❑ You may have disabled the pointing device without a mouse being connected
to the computer. You must restart the computer to make the pointing device
work again.
❑ If your pointing device 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, point to Printers and Other
Hardware, 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.)
❑ Reinstall the mouse/touchstick drivers. See “Using Your Recovery CDs” for
more information.
The pointer does not move (while using the pointing device or
mouse).
❑ Press the Windows key on the keyboard, and press the “U” key to select
Turn Off Computer. When the “Turn off computer” dialog box appears,
press the “R” key to restart the computer.
❑ If you cannot turn off your computer as described in the step above, press the
Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys (at the same time) to restart the computer.
