I have a Dell Inspiron laptop purchased in 07. When I move the cursor around, when it highlights something - it performs the task before I click on it - it just highlights something and automatically "clicks" it and its done. Sometimes when I'm writing an email, if the cursor is moved onto the "send" - it sends my mail before I'm ready. If I should, heaven forbid, move the cursor onto a clickable link, I'm clicked onto the website when I don't want to be. The best way I could describe this would be an extremely sensitive "fast cursor/click" problem.

Can someone tell me how to disarm this?

    Go into the Control Panel and select Mouse or Pointing devices. There should be a sensitivity adjustment there.
    You never mentioned what model the laptop was or what operating system

    Thank you, genes. I'll see about the sensitivity adjustment - I'm extremely computer illerate. I have an Inspiron 1501 with Windows XP, FYI.
