My mouse does not work
❑
If you are using the supplied PS/2 mouse, you must connect it before you turn on your computer.
❑
If you are using an optional Sony USB mouse, check that the appropriate driver and software are
properly installed.
❑
Check that the mouse is plugged into the mouse connector.
❑
Note that the scrolling features work only with programs that use scroll bars. Some programs do not
support features usually available with the central wheel.
❑
Do not use the mouse on a reflective surface (such as a mirror) or transparent surface (such as glass).
❑
Some surfaces do not allow the sensor to function properly because the irregularities are too small to be
detected. The best surfaces reflect but scatter light; an example is a blank sheet of white drawing paper.
Otherwise, use a standard mouse pad.
