    On my new 570U, if I have the pointer over a "next page" or a "send" in email or things like that, after a few seconds, the highlighted thing will go into auto mode and send the email or open a link or whatever.

    If you can understand what I mean, can you tell me why and how do I get it to NOT do this.

    It is really frustrating that if I happen to have the pointer over the "send" button, the email gets sent by itself, or to be typing and the cursor moves to wherever the pointer is by itself.

    thats a strange problem, first I have heard of it.

    I think it might be software related.

    To check:
    - disable you touchpad (Fn + F1), and use a mouse to see if the problem still occurs
    - if it still occurs even when using a mouse, then its software related
    - if it does NOT occur, then it might be the touchpad (which might need to get fixed/replaced)

    tell me how it goes.

    It's tap-click; the touchpad is set to click when you tap it and you're accidentally tapping it when you hover. Turn tapclick off in the Elantech driver and you should be fine.
