Keyboard and Pointing Device Problems

If the pointer is difficult to control
• To customize all pointing devices, use the Mouse icon in Control Panel (Start,
Settings, Control Panel).
• To customize the operation of the pointing stick, use the pointing stick icon
available on the Taskbar (or in the Windows Control panel) to access
TrackPoint Properties.
If the touch pad or pointing stick doesn't work
• Make sure the touch pad or pointing stick is enabled in the BIOS Setup utility.
1. From the Start menu, shut down, then restart the OmniBook.
2. When you see the HP logo, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
3. From the System Devices menu, check Internal Pointing Devices.
4. Select the desired pointing device.
5. Press F10 to Save and Exit the BIOS Setup utility.
• Reset the OmniBook.
• Don't touch the pointing stick or the touch pad while booting or resuming.
If the embedded numeric keypad doesn't work
• Make sure Num Lock is on.
• 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 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.
