38 Operating in Windows Vista®
Touch screen
Navigate and interact with the Windows system easier by simply tapping
the screen with your finger or the stylus. You can also draw or write on the
screen using either your finger or the stylus.
To use the stylus, remove it from the stylus compartment at the bottom
side of the Mobile Computer. Extend the stylus to its full length. Replace the
stylus back in its compartment when not in use to avoid losing it.
