I used a Dell Inspiron 8100 with that problem for a while. It was a pain in the donkey no matter how many clicks you needed. It also had a habit of moving the mouse if you waved a digit *near* the touchpad. I ended up disabling the touchpad completely and using an external optical mouse. Cheers; Leon
