Please Help! Dell Inspiron 14 Touchpad problem!

Hi,
I'm new to the forum, and I have a Dell Inspiron 14 laptop with a touchpad problem.
When I use the touchpad, it would highlight everything and click all the buttons when I move the cursor over something. It's like I'm pressing the left button selecting constantly, while obviously I'm not.
I think it might be a hardwire issue, but is there any possibility to fix it without sending it to Dell?
It would be great if you guys can help me out!!!!!

Thanks!
Nathan

Do you have the Dell synaptics touchpad driver installed?

Try disabling "Tap to click" in the touchpad settings
