    I just got my acer aspire one today..The left-button on the track pad acts as a "right-click" although I do not have it set for that. And I checked, I do not have it set for left-handed users either (since they switch it to be like that). It is set on right-handed, but unfortunately my left-click acts as a right-click, dragging down the little menu every time, and the right-click serves no purpose. Any ideas???

    xp or linux?
    if xp, did you delve into the Synaptics touchpad settings (not just the windows generic settings) to see what the touchpad buttons are set to?

    Sorry, it's XP...yes i went into Synaptics..it says it's set to Right-handed, left click normal click, and right click should be the context menu, etc. but in this case, the left is the context menu, so i have to go through and click "open" everytime instead of double-clicking. and the right click does nothing. :?
