Beginning to Use the Notebook
To change the screen resolution setting:
1. Press and hold down the left TouchPad button as you move
the slider on the Settings tab. The image on the monitor
illustrated above the slide bar changes as you move the
slide bar.
2. When the image on the illustrated monitor is the image you
would like to use on the notebook, select the OK button, then
follow the instructions on the screen.
For information about setting other screen preferences in the
Display Properties window, use context-sensitive Help. To use
context-sensitive Help, select the question mark button in the
upper right corner of the window, then select an item. A
definition, explanation, or procedure is displayed.
Protecting the Notebook Against Viruses
When you use the notebook for email, network, or Internet
access, you expose the notebook to computer viruses. Computer
viruses can disable the operating system, your applications, or
your utilities or cause them to function abnormally.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in
most cases, repair any damage they have caused.
Compaq strongly recommends that you install optional antivirus
software before using your modem or a network connection.
Antivirus software is available from most computer or electronics
retailers.
