Pointing Style - HP Compaq Presario,Presario 1700 Reference Manual

Pointing Style

Use your whole arm and shoulder to move the mouse, not just your wrist. Don't
rest or anchor your wrist while using your pointing device; keep your wrist, arm,
and shoulder free to move.
Adjusting Software Controls
You can use the software control panel to adjust the properties of your pointing
device. For example, to reduce or eliminate mouse-lifting, try increasing the
acceleration setting. If you use a pointing device with your left hand, the software
control panel will allow you to switch the button assignments for maximum
comfort.
Clean Frequently
Dirt can make pointing more difficult. Remember to clean your mouse or trackball
frequently.
RIGHT!
Keep your wrist in a straight, neutral position
when using your pointing device.
