Just bought an optima 729. It lights up okay but just runs through its menu on top left hand side. It will not link to my hp laptop. Any ideas please. Regards jim

Try a reboot, that should correct that problem.
If you are unable to shut it down from the menu bar, press and hold the power button until it turns off. When it reboots, it will ask if you want to open all the programs you were running when you shut it down. I usually do not open them, because never sure which one caused the problem.

The only thing I can think of is reduce the resolution on your screen to fill it. Go to start menu, click on control panel, click on display, go to settings, "top right" take your mouse and go to screen resolution put mouse on arrow and move one notch to the left click apply, a window will appear at the top asking if you want to save these changes click okay and you are done.

Battery No.2?

There are two battery's used.

1) The main battery pack which slides into the laptop;

2) The RTC Battery.
Real Time Clock. Old reference is CMOS Battery.

The RTC Battery is under the Top Cover. Fastened with a clip to the BOTTOM side of the Top Cover.

Hi there,
Using the webcam will require some software. Something such as Microsoft Live Messenger or Yahoo Chat. When the webcam is active is when the blue light will appear.
An easy test using free software would be using VLC, you can obtain this here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Use the download link and install, when you run it follow these steps:
Media -> Open Capture Device
You only need to change one setting here to test, you should see where it says "Video device name", on the right hand side from there will be a drop down menu. Choose the option that says "HP Webcam".
At the bottom press "Play". Then back at the main program press the large play button on the bottom left of the VLC window. Your blue light will now come on and you will see a delightful picture of yourself!
If you do not see the HP Webcam option, your starting point will need to be here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=3224050&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=1842153
To find the correct drivers.
Good luck!

These are the steps to change the mouse sensitivity

Click on the "Start" button in the lower left corner of your computer screen to open the Start menu so you can change the mouse sensitivity. Locate the control panel link on the right-hand column of the Start menu and click on the link.

Wait for the Control Panel manu to open and then locate the "Search Control Panel" bar at the top of the menu on the the right-hand side. Type in "mouse" (no quote marks) in the window and locate the mouse menu at the top, left side of the menu.

Locate the link that says "Change Button Settings" at the bottom of the mouse menu and click on the link. When the mouse properties window appears, locate the tabs at the top of the window and find the one that says "Pointer Options."

Click on the "Pointer Options" window tab and locate the heading that says "Motion." In the Motion section, find the slide ajustment bar that is labeled "Slow" on the left side and "Fast" on the right side of the bar.

Move the bar according to your desired speed and preferences, and click on the "Apply" button on the lower right-hand side of the window.

Click the "OK" button on the lower left-hand side of the window, which will take you back to the default window. Verify that the mouse sensitivity is according to your needs and readjust if necessary by repeating these steps.

Hi Alan,

From your description I understand that the cursor jumps intermittently. This happens when the sensitivity of the touchpad is more or high. Try lowering the touchpad sensitivity.

Here are the steps:

1. Click Start.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Mouse.
4. Click Device Settings tab in the Mouse Properties window.
5. Click Settings Button to launch Touchpad settings.
6. Go to Configuring Sensitivity on the left side menu.
7. Move the slider towards left to decrease the sensitivity.
8. Also, click on PalmCheck on the left side and move the slider towards maximum.
9. Click Apply. Click ok
You can try reinstalling the touchpad driver from the below links:
