    Hey guys, I recently bought a HP DV4170US and everything is working great.... except for one thing. The touchpad doesn't always cllick when i want it to. It moves and responds just fine, but when i want to tap it to click on something, it doesnt always do so. Do you guys have any idea what i might need to do?


    Thanks
    Richard

    Maybe try re-installing & updating the touchpad drivers. Also there are touch sensitivity options in the mouse properties control panel.
