Synaptics Touchpad mouse movement problem - and solution!

[Wayne White]

Any body got any ideas how to change this setting?

When I move my mouse pointer, it sometimes assumes that I want to click objects I pass over. Last night at a show, I stopped songs twice because the Laptop thought I wanted to select the Stop button while I was moving to the Add from HD Button. I don't think this is a Hoster problem, but a setting in the operating system. If I move the curser into a scroll down area, it automatically starts scrolling.

I looked at the Mouse settings & there doesn't appear to be a place to turn this on & off.
