Using the Touch Pad
The PS/2-compatible touch pad detects the position of your finger over a touch-sensitive area and provides the computer full mouse functionality. The touch pad's two
buttons correspond to the left and right buttons on a standard mouse.
To move the cursor, lightly slide your finger over the smooth sensor area. To select an object, gently tap once on the surface of the touch pad. To select and move (or
drag) an object, position the cursor on the object and tap down-up-down on the touch pad. On the second down motion, leave your finger on the touch pad and move
the selected object by sliding your finger across the surface. To double-click an object, position the cursor on the object and then tap twice.
To customize touch pad and cursor features, perform the following steps:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
The Control Panel window appears.
2. Double-click the Mouse icon.
3. Select from among the three tabs (Buttons, Pointers, and Motion). If the Synaptics touch pad drivers have been installed, there are five additional tabs
(Touch, Edge Motion, Scrolling, Button Actions, More Features) to customize your touch pad settings.
4. Make your selections. Click the Help button if you need more information.
Installing the Touch Pad Driver
See Installing Utilities and Drivers for information about installing or reinstalling touch pad driver.
NOTE: Keep your fingers away from the touch pad while the computer is booting or loading the operating system. If you touch the touch pad at either
time, the cursor will not move until you remove your finger from the touch pad surface.
