Cursor Problem - It Sends My email before i am finsihed!

[DCJen]

Whenever I rest my cursor on omething (e.g. a command) for more than 5
seconds it automatically opens up that program, does whatever task my cursor
was resting upon or sends my email before I am finished composing it! This is
maddening. How do I keep the cursor from completing these tasks? Can I
disable that feature?
Thank you!

You might want to see if you have an antivirus program running. Is it up to
date? Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? Need some more
information.

Look at the mouse applet in Control Panel. There is probably a "select while
hovering" option or the like. Obviously you want to deselect that.
