Why is my system running slowly?
❑ The system responsiveness varies depending with the number of
applications that are open and running. Close any applications that you are
not currently using.
❑ Increasing the system memory may also help. For information on installing
memory, please see the online VAIO User Guide.
✍ You may need to reinstall the mouse drivers. See “To Use the Driver Recovery CD”
