Synaptics TouchPad Topics Covered: Overview of the TouchPad Scrolling Properties Page Tap Zones Properties Page TouchPad More Features Properties Page Button Actions Properties Page Touch Properties Page Edge Motion Properties Page Frequently Asked Questions Screens will vary depending on your operating system but the contents should be the same.
Overview of Synaptics® TouchPad Features Your Synaptics TouchPad is much more powerful than an old-fashioned mouse.
Adjust the Overall Touch Sensitivity You can control how much finger pressure you must apply before the TouchPad responds by adjusting the Touch Sensitivity slider. This slider is located on the Touch Properties Page in the Mouse Properties dialog. At higher (more sensitive) Touch Sensitivity settings, the TouchPad recognizes even a very slight touch. If you see undesired or erratic pointer motion, try a lower setting. Lower (less sensitive) settings require a firmer touch to move the pointer.
Prevent Accidental Pointing While Typing Unintentional pointer movement and accidental taps can be caused by accidentally brushing the surface of the TouchPad with your palm or another part of your hand. The results of this contact can be observed as a changing cursor location when typing, causing subsequent text to appear in the wrong place. Or text may “spontaneously” be highlighted and replaced. Most often, this unwanted pointing activity occurs when typing on the keyboard.
Move the Pointer Long Distances Suppose you are dragging an object, scrolling at high speed (via Virtual Scrolling! ), or merrily moving the pointer when you suddenly reach the edge of your TouchPad. Don’t despair, the Synaptics TouchPad Edge Motion feature comes to the rescue! Edge Motion helps with long distance pointer motion.
Scrolling Properties Page The Scrolling properties page allows you to customize the Virtual Scrolling capabilities of your TouchPad. In some applications, the scroll zones which activate Virtual Scrolling can be used for zooming too.
Tap Zones Properties Pages The Tap Zones properties pages allow you to assign custom actions to taps in the Touchpad’s corner zone regions (or tap zone regions). The Synaptics TouchPad driver may also control other pointing devices attached to your system. If the Synaptics TouchPad driver is controlling more than one pointing device on your system, the Synaptics pages on the Mouse control panel will have a drop-down box listing all of the pointing devices that are controlled.
More Features Properties Page The More Features properties page allows you to control the following features of you Synaptics TouchPad: Stop Pointer at Window Borders This feature constrains the pointer to stay inside the active window. When you try to move the pointer outside the window, it stops at the edge. If you try a second time, the pointer is free to leave the window. TouchPad Stopping the pointer at the window borders makes it easy to access controls that lie around the edges of windows.
Button Actions Properties Page The Button Actions properties page allows you to customize the physical buttons of your TouchPad. Customizing Button Assignments You can customize the TouchPad buttons in the same way that you customize the tap zones. TouchPad To Customize: Each button has a text box that displays the current action (for example, it might say Left, which means the left-click or primary-click action).
Touch Properties Page The Touch properties page allows you to customize the tap response and sensitivity of your TouchPad. Taps Check the appropriate boxes in the Taps section of the Touch Properties Page for the tapping capabilities that you prefer: • • • Tap to Click Tap and Drag Locking Drags Touch Sensitivity TouchPad Use the Touch Sensitivity slider to control how much finger pressure you must apply before the TouchPad responds. See Adjust the Overall Touch Sensitivity.
Edge Motion Properties Page The Edge Motion properties page allows you to customize the long distance pointer motion capabilities of your TouchPad. When your finger reaches the edge of your TouchPad, the Edge Motion feature allows the pointer to continue to move until you lift your finger. See Move the Pointer Long Distances for more details about the Edge Motion feature.
Frequently Asked Questions Q: When I use Virtual Scrolling, the pointer jumps over to the scroll bar, and then jumps back where it came from when I’m done. Is this normal? A: Yes. Q: Why doesn’t the Virtual Scrolling feature work in some windows, even though they have a scroll bar? TouchPad A: In order to scroll, Virtual Scrolling must be able to “see” the window’s scroll bar.
Q: When I press and hold the shift key or the control key (CTRL), the pointer movement is either very slow or restricted to move only horizontally or only vertically. What is happening? TouchPad A: The shift keys and the control keys are special and are used for various things, such as selecting multiple files in Microsoft Windows Explorer or for zooming in and out on a spread sheet in Microsoft Excel.

Welcome to PC-cillin Welcome to PC-cillin 2000, Trend Micro’s award-winning antivirus software.
What’s New in PC-cillin 2000 PC-cillin 2000 includes the following enhancements over the previous version: • Windows Support: PC-cillin fully supports Windows. Integration with the Windows installer means that you can install PC-cillin while installing other Windows components. PC-cillin is Windows compliant. • Virus Scanning of Local Outlook Folders: If you use Microsoft Outlook as your email client, Trend PC-cillin 2000 provides on-demand scanning of local folders for virus-infected attachments.
What is a Computer Virus? Simply put, a computer virus is a program that replicates. To do so, it will need to attach itself to other program files (for example, .exe, .com, .dll) and execute whenever the host program executes. Beyond simple replication, a virus almost always seeks to fulfill another purpose: to cause damage.
How Viruses Spread There are many ways for a virus to enter your system: • Email attachments • World Wide Web (WWW) sites • FTP traffic from the Internet (file downloads) • Shared network files & network traffic in general • Demonstration software • Pirated software • Shrink-wrapped, production programs (rare) • Computer labs • Electronic bulletin boards (BBS) • Diskette swapping (using other people’s diskettes for carrying data and programs back and forth) PC-cillin 2000 The most likely virus entry point
