Hi Alsone,

Welcome to the Community,

Try the following steps:

1.Right-click an empty area of the taskbar and choose "Properties".

2. The "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box appears. Click the "Start Menu" tab.

3. Click the "Customize" button.

4. The "Customize Start Menu" dialog box appears. Scroll down and uncheck the "Open submenus when I pause on them with the mouse pointer" box.

Disable automatic submenu expansion in the Start Menu upon mouse hover in Windows 7

5. Click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close them.

Hope this helps,

Thank You

Hi Roshan,

I'm not sure. I'm still getting some random selections however, I wondering if lifting then re-applying my fingers to the pd gently is being interpreted as a tap.

I've now turned tapping off and will see how that goes.

OK that seems to have done the trick. It seems it was a mixture of hovering and slight lifiting of the fingers on the pad being intrepreted as a double tap.

Many thanks,

Al.
