scrolling

In some applications, you can drag your finger up or down on the scroll zone to

roll the display up or down.

tapping

A unique feature of a touchpad, as compared to a traditional mouse, is the
ability to recognize taps on the touchpad area as clicks of the left click button.

If you’ve never used a touchpad with this feature, you may find it helpful.

Because inadvertent taps may confuse new users, by default this feature is
turned off on your notebook.

changing touchpad settings

If you want to enable tapping or make any other touchpad-related changes

(such as changing the settings for a left-handed user), you will need to click on

the task tray icon

and select Pointing Device Properties. Then you will click

on Device Settings and then the Settings button. Next, you will highlight Tapping

and check the Enable Tapping box in the properties window.
