I'm still getting used to the tiny-ness, but I don't think I'll have too much trouble. |

I have a question for the people who have this computer. In the intro video, it said that you can have multiple windows up on the screen at the same time, but
I can't make it happen. I can get lots of tabs, but that's not the same thing. Does anyone know how to do this?
Yes, I feel stupid. |

I just bought one yesterday. It's cute and it does feel like a little kids toy.

Adjust volume, at the bottom windows bar (where Start and all that is) to the left side where the time is, ya know? there should be a little speaker icon, double click that. Or go to Start>Assescories>Entertainment>Volume |

All That Jaz wrote:Yeah, I can do the tabs thing, but I'm trying to get multiple windows (sites) on the screen at the same time...so you can drag things from one page to another. If it wasn't for the intro video that showed it being done, I'd think you couldn't do it at all. But it said you could. About the volume, I can do it the ways you mentioned, but there are keys that have the volume symbol on them and they should control the volume, but they don't seem to be working very well. I'll have to keep farting around with it. |

Thank you, barbie! Of course--the Fn is blue and the icons are blue. I should've been able to figure it out--DUH! The Fn key was about the only one I
didn't try with the volume keys.
