try cleaning the touchpad, the double click feature is a sure pain, not to mention the side-slider

if after udating, you may wish to re-check the mouse in control panel to see what options you have.

also there is a Windows 7 troubleshooting support on the main page:

I just load Windows 7 on my Tosbiba Satellite replacing the orginal system. I am experiencing the same effect. I find myself accidently moving folders into other folders opening something twice. I am a experience "IT" person testing the software and was attempting to find a way to make the changes and to remove some of new setting such as the double click on the touchpad because i know how it will effect some of my customers. It not too bad for me ...just irrietating when I accidently drag a folder into another folder then go back and try to find that folder.  This could be a big problem for laptop users if Microsoft doesn't provide a simple way of setting someof these new touchpad feature of. I would estimate only 10% of my users would see these features as a benefit.

I am going to try your suggestions and get back to you. I need to look at all these new little features.

Alright people, here's whatchya gotta do.  What you are going to do is download the the Synaptics touchpad driver.  The driver is located at this link http://www.synaptics.com/support/drivers

Choose either the 32 bit or 64 bit based on whichever your computer is.  Once you download it install the driver and you will have to restart your computer.

For what it's worth, soon as I had this installed the problems ceased.  If you are still having problems continue to read on how to tweak the settings.

 Now when you go to your mouse properties in the control panel you will have more options; go to the device settings tab on the far right, then click the settings button. Choose "pointing" and under that is "sensitivity" and under that is Palmcheck which keeps your palm from causing problems when it brushes the touch pad. This can be adjusted as well as the overall sensitivity.

Your welcome and Go Cougs!

Im having the same problem after upgrading to Win 7, I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CRS21

I also dont have the device settings tab under mouse properties.

Its driving me mad - I had vista before and disabled the touchpad completely as I hate them - I use a bluetooth mouse
