TOUCHPAD

TOUCHPAD BASICS

The touchpad controls the arrow (or 'cursor') on the screen. As you slide your finger across the touchpad, the cursor will follow this movement.

Press the left or right side of the button located beneath the touchpad to perform selection and execution functions. These two areas are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchpad is the same as clicking the left side of the button.

Note: The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement; the lighter the touch, the better the response.

Please keep the touchpad and your fingers dry and clean.

The cursor is controlled by some basic gestures:

•Single-finger slide: Slide a finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.

•Single-finger tap: Lightly tap the touchpad with your finger, to perform a 'click', which will select or start an item. Quickly repeat the tap to perform a double tap or 'double click'.

•Drag: Press and hold the left side of the selection button, or tap twice anywhere on the touchtap, then slide a second finger across the touchpad to select all items in an area.

TOUCHPAD GESTURES

Windows 8 and many applications support touchpad gestures that use one or more fingers.

Note: Support for touchpad gestures depends on the active application.

These allow you to control applications with a few simple gestures, such as:

•Swipe in from edge: Access Windows tools by swiping into the center of the touchpad from the right, top or left.

•Swipe in from right edge: Toggle the charms.

•Swipe in from top edge: Toggle the app commands.

•Swipe in from left edge: Switch to the previous app.

•Two-finger slide: Swiftly scroll through web pages, documents and playlists by placing two fingers on the touchpad and moving both in any direction.

•Two-finger pinch: Zoom in and out of photos, maps and documents with a simple finger-and-thumb gesture.

12 - Quick start guide

RECOVERY

If you are having trouble with your computer, and the frequently asked questions (see page 82) do not help, you can 'recover' your computer - i.e. return it to an earlier state.

This section describes the recovery tools available on your computer. Packard Bell provides Packard Bell Recovery Management, which allows you to create a recovery backup, a drivers and applications backup, and to start recovery options, either using Windows tools, or the recovery backup.

Note: Packard Bell Recovery Management is only available with a pre-installed Windows operating system.

Important: We recommend that you create a Recovery Backup and Drivers and Applications Backup and as soon as possible. In certain situations a full recovery will require a USB recovery backup.

CREATING A RECOVERY BACKUP

To reinstall from a USB storage drive, you must first create a recovery backup. The recovery backup includes the entire original contents of your computer’s hard drive, including Windows and all factory-loaded software and drivers. Using this backup will restore your computer to the same state as when you purchased it, while giving you an option to retain all settings and personal data.

Note: Make sure you have a USB drive with a capacity of at least 16 GB.

1.From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Packard Bell Recovery Management in the list of apps.

Recovery - 13

2.Click Create Factory Default Backup. The Recovery Drive window opens.

Make sure Copy contents from the recovery partition to the recovery drive is selected. This provides the most complete and safest recovery backup.

3.Plug in the USB drive then click Next.

•Make sure your USB drive has enough capacity before continuing. The recovery backup requires at least 16 GB of storage

4.You will be shown the backup progress on the screen.

5.Follow the process until it completes.

6.After creating the recovery backup, you can choose to delete the recovery information on your computer. If you delete this information, you can only use the USB recovery backup to restore your computer, if you lose or erase the USB drive, you cannot restore your computer.

14 - Quick start guide

7. Unplug the USB drive and label it clearly.

Important: Write a unique, descriptive label on the backup, such as 'Windows Recovery Backup'. Make sure you keep the backup in a safe place that you will remember.

CREATING A DRIVERS AND APPLICATIONS BACKUP

To create a Drivers and Applications Backup, that contains the factoryloaded software and drivers needed by your computer, you may use either a USB storage drive or, if your computer features a DVD recorder, one or more blank recordable DVDs.

1.From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Packard Bell Recovery Management in the list of apps.

2.Click Create Drivers and Applications Backup.

Plug in the USB drive or insert a blank DVD into the optical drive, then click Next.

Recovery - 15

•If you are using a USB drive, make sure your USB drive has enough capacity before continuing.

•If using DVDs, it will also show the number of blank, recordable discs you will need to complete the recovery discs. Make sure that you have the required number of identical, blank discs.

3.Click Start to copy files.You will be shown the backup progress on the screen.

4.Follow the process until it completes:

•If you are using optical discs, the drive ejects each disc as it completes burning it. Remove the disc from the drive and mark it with a permanent marker.

If multiple discs are required, insert a new disc when prompted, then click OK. Continue until the process is complete.

•If you are using a USB drive, unplug the drive and label it clearly.

Important: Write a unique, descriptive label on each backup, such as 'Drivers and Applications Backup'. Make sure you keep the backup in a safe place that you will remember.

RECOVERING YOUR SYSTEM

To recover your system:

1.Perform minor fixes.

If only one or two items of software or hardware have stopped working correctly, the problem may be solved by reinstalling the software or the device drivers.

To reinstall software and drivers that were pre-installed at the factory,

16 - Quick start guide

see "Reinstalling drivers and applications" on page 17.

For instructions on reinstalling software and drivers that were not preinstalled, see that product’s documentation or support Web site.

2.Revert to a previous system condition.

If reinstalling software or drivers does not help, then the problem may be solved by returning your system to a previous state when everything was working correctly.

For instructions, see "Returning to an earlier system snapshot" on page 19.

3.Reset your operating system.

If nothing else has solved the problem and you want to reset your system, but keep your user information, see "Returning your system to its factory condition" on page 19.

4.Reset your system to its factory condition.

If nothing else has solved the problem and you want to reset your system to factory condition, see "Returning your system to its factory condition" on page 19.

Reinstalling drivers and applications

As a troubleshooting step, you may need to reinstall the applications and device drivers that came pre-installed on your computer from the factory. You can reinstall using either your hard drive or the backup you have created.

•Other applications - If you need to reinstall software that did not come pre-installed on your computer, you need to follow that software’s installation instructions.

•New device drivers - If you need to reinstall device drivers that did not come pre-installed on your computer, follow the instructions provided with the device.

If you are reinstalling using Windows and the recovery information stored on your computer:

•From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Packard Bell Recovery Management in the list of apps.

• Click Reinstall Drivers or Applications.

Recovery - 17

•You should see the Contents section of the Packard Bell Resource Center.

If you are reinstalling from a Drivers and Applications Backup on a DVD or USB drive:

1.Insert the Drivers and Applications Backup into the disc drive or connect it to a free USB port.

•If you inserted a DVD wait for Packard Bell Resource Center to start.

•If Packard Bell Resource Center does not start automatically, press the Windows key + <E>, then double-click on the optical drive icon.

•If you are using a USB drive, press the Windows key + <E>, then double-click on the drive that contains the backup. Double-click on

ResourceCenter.

2.You should see the Contents section of the Packard Bell Resource Center.

3.Click the install icon for the item you want to install, then follow the onscreen prompts to complete the installation. Repeat this step for each item you want to reinstall.

18 - Quick start guide

Returning to an earlier system snapshot

Microsoft System Restore periodically takes a 'snapshot' of your system settings and saves them as restore points. In most cases of hard-to- resolve software problems, you can return to one of these restore points to get your system running again.

Windows automatically creates an additional restore point each day, and also each time you install software or device drivers.

Note: For more information about using Microsoft System Restore, from Start, type 'Help' and then click Help and Support in the list of apps. Type 'Windows system restore' in the Search Help box, then press Enter.

Returning to a restore point

2.Click System and Security > Action Center, then click Recovery at the bottom of the window.

3.Click Open System Restore, then Next.

4.Click the latest restore point (at a time when your system worked correctly), click Next, then Finish.

5.A confirmation window appears; click Yes. Your system is restored using the restore point you specified. This process may take several minutes, and may restart your computer.

Returning your system to its factory condition

If your computer experiences problems that are not recoverable by other methods, you may need to reinstall everything to return your system to its factory condition. You can recover from either your hard drive or the recovery backup you have created.

•If you can still run Windows and have not deleted the recovery partition, see "Recovering from Windows" on page 19.
