Keyboard and Pointing Device Problems
If the embedded numeric keypad doesn't work
• Make sure Num Lock is on (Fn+F9).
• Make sure the embedded Keypad Lock (Fn+F8) is on—or that you press and
hold the Fn key to temporarily access the embedded keypad.
• Don't touch the pointing stick or the touch pad while booting or resuming.
If the pointer is difficult to control
• To customize all pointing devices, use the Mouse icon in Control Panel to go to
Mouse Properties.
• If the touch pad driver has been installed, Mouse Properties includes a tab that
allows you to customize the operation of the touch pad.
• Reset the OmniBook.
If the touch pad doesn't work
• Make sure that there is not an external mouse connected to the OmniBook.
• If you just disconnected an external mouse, try exiting and restarting Windows
to make the internal touch pad active again.
• Press the blue power button to turn off the OmniBook, then turn it on again
without moving the pointer.
• Reset the OmniBook.
If a special feature on the PS/2 mouse doesn't work
• The built-in pointing device must be disabled for special mouse features to
work. In the BIOS Setup utility, check that the PS/2 Pointing Devices option is set
to Auto in the System Devices menu. See page 1-12.
• Make sure you installed any drivers installed with the mouse.
If CTRL+ALT doesn't work on an external keyboard
• CTRL+ALT should work like the Fn key on an external keyboard. In BIOS Setup,
check that External Fn Key is enabled in the System Devices menu. See page
1-12.
