Double is Single?

[TravelGuy]

My new Vista64 laptop has been single-clicking me since I got it a couple of weeks ago. I went to the Folder Options right away but double-click is selected. Now figure that? If I sngclk a title bar the window changes. If I sngclk a desktop icon the program opens. Most games I can no longer play. This is driving me nuts.

Hi TravelGuy and welcome to Vista Forums

What is the make and model number of your laptop? It could be that you need to adjust the sensitivity of your touch pad. Details should be found in your user manual.

Thanks Dwarf. I'll check that out. Specs: HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx Entertainment Notebook. Hope this helps. Another perhaps unconnected issue is that when I click in any text (in any program) it selects the entire word or sentence, and then right before my eyes it will jump to selecting the sentence before or the one after. That's also a bit frustrating.

Hi TravelGuy,

Thanks for the reply. Have a look at the following links, the first is to the main support page for your laptop and the second pertains to the Touchpad.
