How can I change my mouse buttons for left-handed use?
You can switch the right and left buttons on your mouse in Windows.
Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar. Point to Settings and
click Control Panel.
From the Control Panel, double click the Mouse icon. A menu provides
options, which include Swap Left/Right buttons.
To change the buttons, click the box next to the Swap Left/Right buttons.
The mouse diagram above the check box changes to show your choice.
Swapping buttons takes effect immediately. If you swap buttons, use the
right button to click OK and exit the Mouse menu.
What do I do if my mouse stops functioning or its operation is
slow or sluggish?
You may have connected the mouse after turning on your system. Turn
off the system and check that the mouse is properly connected to the
mouse port on the system unit. Turn on the computer and wait for the
system to boot and for the software drivers to load.
If the system is up and running but the mouse still does not work, reinstall
the mouse driver and reboot.
If the mouse operates sluggishly, try using a new mouse pad. The pad
provides traction for moving the mouse and results in more sensitivity and
control of movement.
If the mouse still operates slowly, it might need cleaning. See "How to
Clean the Mouse" in Chapter 6 of this guide.
Power Management Questions
Does my system come with power management features
enabled?
Yes, your system comes with power management features enabled. If you
do not use the keyboard, mouse, or drives for the preset length of inactive
time, the screen goes blank and the system goes into a power saving mode
of operation.
When the screen goes blank, just press the space bar or move the mouse
to reactivate the system.
