Troubleshooting the mouse and touchpad

My mouse does not work

If you are using an external mouse, check that the mouse is plugged into the
mouse connector. See “Connecting an External Display” for details.

If you are using an optional Sony USB mouse PCGA-UMS1 series, check
that the mouse is plugged into the USB connector.

My touchpad does not work properly

You may have disabled the touchpad without a mouse being connected to the
notebook. To enable the touchpad:

1

Click Start, point to Programs, and click Sony Notebook Setup.

2

Click Touchpad tab.

3

Click Use touchpad, and then click OK.

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.

(Windows Me) If you cannot turn off your notebook as described in the step
above, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete (at the same time) to restart the notebook.
(Windows 2000) If you cannot turn off your notebook as described in the
step above, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete (at the same time) and click Shut Down
on the Windows® Security screen 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.
