To Choose an Ergonomic Location
Before you get started, find the best location for your new computer.
Planning your workspace
❑Stable work surface — Use a stable work surface large enough to support
the computer and other peripheral equipment.
❑Ventilation — Leave at least eight inches of space on the left and back sides
of your computer to enable proper ventilation.
❑Placement of the keyboard, mouse, and other input devices — Place
your keyboard, mouse, and other input devices so that your arms and hands
are in a relaxed, comfortable position. The keyboard should be directly in
front of you. Adjust the level of the keyboard so that your lower arms are
parallel to the floor. Keep your wrists in a relaxed position when you are
using the keyboard—not angled up or down. Use the palmrest only briefly,
for resting. While typing, never use the palmrest or rest your hands on the
table. Position the mouse at the same level as the keyboard. Hold the mouse
with a relaxed hand, and use your whole arm to move it. Take breaks during
sessions with your computer. Excessive use of the mouse or a joystick may
strain muscles or tendons.
❑Furniture and posture — Sit in a chair with good back support and
armrests. Adjust the level of the chair so your feet are flat on the floor. A
footrest may make you more comfortable. Sit with relaxed, upright
posture—avoid slouching forward or leaning far backward.
❑Viewing angle of the display — Position the display 18 to 26 inches
directly in front of you, with the top of the screen at or a little below eye
level. Use the display’s tilting feature to find the best position. You can
reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue by placing the display in the proper
position.
❑Lighting — Choose a location where windows and lights do not create glare
and reflection on the display. Use indirect lighting to avoid bright spots on
the display. You can also purchase accessories for your display that help
reduce glare. Proper lighting adds to your comfort and work effectiveness.

If your computer still does not respond and you cannot restart, shut down your
computer by pressing and holding the power switch for more than six seconds.
If the software application continues to stop responding or causes your computer
to stop responding, contact the software publisher or designated technical support

Why does the Windows operating system stop responding during shutdown?
The Windows operating system may not shut down properly for many reasons,
including incompatible or conflicting drivers, damaged files, or non-responsive
hardware. For troubleshooting information, you can search Windows Help.
1Click Start in the Windows taskbar and select VAIO Help and Support. The
VAIO Help and Support Center appears.
2Select Fixing a Problem and then select Startup and Shut Down problems. A
list of specific problem topics appears on the right side of the dialog box.
3Select Startup and Shutdown Troubleshooter. Follow the on-screen
instructions according to your specific situation.
I cannot find the Windows taskbar.
The Windows taskbar may be hidden or minimized.
❑Use the mouse to locate a hidden taskbar by pointing to the left, right, top,
and bottom edges of the screen. The taskbar appears when the cursor is
placed over its location.
1Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
2Clear the check box for Autohide the taskbar, then click OK.
❑Use the mouse to locate a minimized taskbar by pointing to the left, right,
top and bottom edges of the display screen. The taskbar has been located
when the cursor changes to a double arrow cursor. Left-click and drag away
from the edge of the display screen. The minimized taskbar resizes and
becomes visible.
Pressing and holding the power switch for more than six seconds, may result
in the loss of data from files that are currently open.
