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, or tap the surface of the
touchpad. These two areas are similar to the left and right buttons on
a mouse.
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 8.1 and many applications support touchpad gestures that
use one or more fingers.
These allow you to control applications with a few simple gestures,
such as:
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.
Note
Support for touchpad gestures depends on the active application.
18 - Touchpad
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.
Recovery - 19
RECOVERY
If you are having trouble with your computer, and the frequently asked
questions (see Frequently asked questions on page 62) 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.
Acer provides , which allows you to Acer Recovery Management
create a recovery backup, a drivers and applications backup, and to
start recovery options, either using Windows tools, or the 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
Acer 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.
Note
Since the recovery backup requires at least 16
GB of storage after
formatting, it is recommended to use a USB drive with a capacity of 32
GB
or larger.
20 - Recovery
1. From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Acer Recovery
Management in the list of apps.
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.
Recovery - 21
Since the recovery backup requires at least 16
GB of storage
after formatting, it is recommended to use a USB drive with a
capacity of 32
GB or larger.
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.
7. Unplug the USB drive and label it clearly.
Creating a drivers and applications backup
To create a Drivers and Applications Backup, that contains the
factory-loaded software and drivers needed by your computer, you

2. Click Create Drivers and Applications Backup.

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
Recovery - 23
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.
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, see Reinstalling drivers and applications on page 24.
For instructions on reinstalling software and drivers that were not
pre-installed, 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 26.
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 27.
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 27.
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.
24 - Recovery

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.

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

connect it to a free USB port.
If you inserted a DVD wait for Acer Resource Center to start.
If Acer 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

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.
Returning to a restore point
1. From Start, type ’Control Panel’ and then click Control Panel in the

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 27.

From Start, type ’Recovery’ and then click Acer Recovery
Management in the list of apps.
Two options are available, Restore Factory Settings (Reset my PC)
