Using the TouchPad
The TouchPad
enables you to move the cursor by brushing your finger on the surface in
the direction you'd like the cursor to move. To move the cursor to the top
of the screen, move your finger on the TouchPad away from you. To move
the cursor to the bottom, do the opposite.
For more information on the TouchPad, see the electronic user's guide.
Primary and secondary control buttons
When you want to click or choose an item, use the TouchPad to move the
pointer/cursor to the item. Once the pointer/cursor is positioned, you can
click it into place by either double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the
control buttons.
The control buttons are adjacent to the TouchPad and are used like the
buttons on a mouse. The primary control button is the left one and
corresponds to the left mouse button. To double-click, press the primary
button twice in rapid succession.
The function of the secondary button depends on the program you are
using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse button. Check your
program's documentation to find whether it uses the secondary mouse
button.
Playing a CD or DVD
Your computer has a DVD-ROM or multi-function drive that can read both
DVD-ROM and CD-ROM discs.
Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a significant increase in data storage
and support features that are not available on any other video platform.
HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that you can turn on.
This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset intervals. See your
software documentation for details.

The Windows
XP operating system records information, such as your
desktop setup, during its shutdown procedure. If you do not let the operating
system shut down normally, details such as new icon positions may be lost.
