mouse selecting when hovering (laptop)

I just got a brand new laptop - and when I hover over some buttons with my touchpad - it acts like I have clicked on it.

Another example - even in the middle of a web page it'll start highlighting when I scroll down with the touchpad (as if I had clicked on the page somewhere).

Notes, and things I have tried...

I am positive I am not clicking the button.

I am positive I am not tapping the touchpad. (It will do it with my hands completely off the system.

I have tried changing the folder options settings to double click & single click. No change.


Thanks

 

Hi,
I was about to suggest sending it back, but saw PeteC's reply. Are there sensitivity settings?

Also look up you model at the manufacturer's website. From manufacturer's websites I have been to, touchpads appear to have quite a few driver updates. Check for driver updates and check the FAQs (there might be model specific FAQs or general FAQs).

Don't hesitate to contact their support service, they should not like to see problems occurring with brand new equipment. Get them to exhaust all avenues before they ask for it to be returned (returning it is no skin off their nose, but it inconveniences you).

Hope you find it is a settings problem.

It was a sensitivity issue. There isn't a "perfect setting" for me, but it's very much improved - and has a real nice feel.
