clicking track pad

ive got a trackpad that keeps clicking repeatedly almost infinately fast its slowing my computer down and not allowing my to use my trackpad

ive heard this was a common problem is there a way to fix this?

 

Is it possible to lower the sensitivity of the touchpad?
start>control panel>mouse>device settings

 

i tried that but no go

 

Does this happen only when you are physically touching the pad?

You could try uninstalling and reinstalling the pad.
Or replacing the driiver.

Have you recently installed any new software?
If so, try restoring your system to a date before the install.

I need to crash for the night.
I'll check this thread for replies tomorrow morning.

 

well ive tried uninstalling the drivers and then having them install automatically but that didnt work but come to think of it it is only when i touch the pad
