Getting Started
Using the TouchPad™
(complete steps 
 in 
), 
and then check that the module is inserted completely into the 
socket and lined up squarely with the socket latches.
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.
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.
Scrolling with the TouchPad
There are two active regions on the TouchPad
 that allow you to 
scroll as you would with any wheel device on a mouse or trackball.
To scroll vertically, run your finger up or down along the right edge 
of the TouchPad. To scroll horizontally, run your finger along the 
bottom edge of the TouchPad. This feature can be disabled or 
changed in the Mouse Properties dialog box.
