    If you have the + and - buttons you can use them. but maybe your laptop doesnt have a numpad.

    You have a touchpad right?

    Right click and move your finger on the touchpad. That's what I do (:

    Well, back when I had a mac and right click was acting up 99% of the time, the only option I found was flying, cos moving using the wasd keys also changed the camera. That won't work in instances though, which sucks. Anyway, just checked the hotkeys list just to be sure, but there doesn't seem to be a button that does it.

    I play {PWi} strictly with touch pad alone on my Laptop Its really quite fun when ya get used to it.....

    I can pan my {cameras angles} by fulling activating the touch pads options on my laptop, though some laptops already have their touchpad options active when ya first get them....




    Too pan your camera angles (on a fully active touchpad) ~ quickly tap & hold the {pad} as you also hold the (right button) down while you run your fingers 'left to right & up to down' in dragging motions (on the center of touch pad out too the edges) then let go of the right button when you got the angle of view you want..
    I................ ^................ I
    I................ ^................ I
    I...... <<<<o>>>> ...... I
    I................ v................ I
    I................ v................ I
    ....
    I.............I......I\\\0///I
    ....


    \And too/


    Do magnification & pullback views from distance on a (fully active TP) ~ its usually done by running your fingers 'up to down' in dragging motions on the very far right end side of the touchpad..

    I..............................^..I
    I..............................^..I
    I..............................o..I
    I..............................v..I
    I..............................v..I


    Atleast thats how its worked on both my (old Compaq & current Toshiba) laptops ~ once you have a fully active {touch pad}... The trick will be for you too get used to the full option sensitive {TP}, but once you do its a breeze too use....b:victory




    PS: Wish I could tell you how to do the full {TP} Activation on a newer vista or Win~7 Laptop but mine came as a fully active {TP} system, off of the bat...

    i finally found out to work the right click on my touchpad XD
    my right click is at the way bottom right of the pad...like i have to put my finger at that exact spot or it won't right click.
