how do I stop the cursor from having a mind of its own?

[onlinebabe]

I just received this computer T400.  A mac user wswitching over to pc - not famliar with the land.  I am using a notebook and the cursor clicks on its own when I let it rest and then transports me to whatever information/page that it happens to rest upon.  needles to say this is very tiring.  I have tried to go to the help section and there is not informaiton about how to stop this from happening.  There is informaiton for mouse control.  The information I found on the cursor only spoke to the rate of blinking.

also, I would like to incluse word in my start up programs and can't figure out how to do that.

the cursor information would be most useful to me at the moment.  Thank you.

onlinebabe, welcome to the forum,

you probably need to turn off or adjust the sensitivity of tapping in the UltraNav Touchpad properties. Go to Control Panel > Mouse and select the UltraNav tab and adjust the settings.

Do you mean that you want word to start automatically when windows starts? Right click in an empty area of the task bar and choose properties > Start Menu > Customise and add Word to your Autostarts folder.

Hope this helps

Hi Andy,

I tried what you said but it did not have any option to stop the automatic clicking.
