I am having problem with touch pad of Acer Aspire 5532. Whenever I am using the touchpad the system automatically selects or presses the button. This happen on scrolling, or moving the mouse cursor over any window or icon. It is very annoying. Each time when I move the cursor the touchpad automatically clicks and open up the window. I had clean the touchpad. There is no dust nor there is anything stuck in it.
You can disable the touchpad first and re-enable it to fix the problem you are facing. For that go in Device Manager. You can access it by right clicking on My Computer > Manage. Click on Device Manager and right click on the touchpad. Choose disable and then enable it back again. Just check whether it is working fine or not. If not then you can try re-installing the touchpad once. This will surely restore old settings.
This kind of issue appear due to sticky keys. This keys are activated automatically when you press shift key multiple time. This are part of windows accessibility feature. You just have to turn those things off and done. The issue will disappear. Just go in control pane and search for sticky keys under accessibility options. Disable them and check back.
Here is the answer: Take a look at the top of the keyboard where the power button is. To the the left of that power button is a small button; that button disables the touchpad.
