Using the touch screen (select models only)

Some computer models allow you to use your fingers to perform certain actions on the touch screen.
NOTE: The instructions in this section are based on factory settings. To modify settings for
recognized clicks and flicks, select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Pen and
Touch.
NOTE: If the pen touches the screen when the touch screen is active, it will disable all touch input.
To resume touch input, remove the pen and fingers from the screen, and then use a finger to make
contact with the screen again.
NOTE: All movements may not be supported in all programs.

Tapping (or clicking)

Tap or double-tap an item on the screen as you would click or double-click using a TouchPad or an
external mouse. Tap and hold an item to see the context menu as you would use the right TouchPad
button.
NOTE: You must tap and hold your finger until a circle appears around the area you are touching,
and then the context menu is displayed.

Flicking

Touch the screen in a light, quick flicking motion up, down, left, or right to navigate through screens or
quickly scroll through documents.
NOTE: For the flicking movement to work, a scrollbar must be visible in the active window.
