    I have a SZ640, with Vist Business, when I hover over something clickable it clicks it if I pause to long. I keep finding myself opening programs while trying to figure out what bloatware I'm uninstalling next.

    I would love to know how to disable this "feature".

    If someone else is batter at searching than I and can find this already solved/discussed, I'll gladly take the flame for not looking hard enough if you give me the link.

    thanks.....

    Could you narrow that down a bit? I've previously disabled webassist, and left corner assignment, as far as I can tell the only options I have enabled is Use Scroll function and Tap off when typing.

    Under Ease of Access- the Activate a window by hovering over it is unchecked.

    roor, you were right it was in the mouse settings, I had to disable tapping, once I did that it worked normally. Hopefully this will help those in the future that assume it is some X-windows feature that they built into Vista.
