Hi Robert,

You might want to reduce the sensitivity of the mouse. Navigate to control panel > Printers and
other hardware > mouse, and flip to the Synaptics touchpad settings. You will be able to reduce the
sensitivity and you can also turn of the "tap-to-click" feature so that you can only use the two
buttons to click and right-click.

Go to the Mouse applet in Control Panel and turn down the touchpad's
sensitivity. You'll also find many options for your touchpad there
which you can explore to see what you like best. This also can happen
in conjunction with the sensitivity if you have it set to single-click
instead of double-click.

Turn off Tapping in the mouse control panel.
