    Single click drag turned into a double click drag?


    I was playing a game and using the left click hold on my touchpad MSI to move around the game's camera when suddenly it stopped working. I assumed it was some bug in the game but found that it wasn't just the game. Instead of being able to click and hold the left button of the touchpad to drag things, I now had to double click them from files to the scroll bar. I have no idea how this happened, but I don't like it, it's becoming a complete and utter hassle. I've tried updating and uninstalling the mouse in Device Manager, unticking the button for double click to multiselect, doing a scan for

    Drag and Drop

    Hi Charles,

    the steps you suggested didn't work for me but, when pressing the escape key it somehow expanded the drive and by using drag and drop to the single file in the list worked.

    In the past I could drag and drop multiple folders onto the drive on the network computer(s). Doing it on individual folders will take far too long and time consuming and is not an option.

    Microsoft should be able to identify what is blocking it and issue a fix.

    My machine is multi boot so tomorrow I will try with Windows 7.

    Many thanks for your help,

    Deric

    Single click drag turned into a double click drag?

    Double tap to drag without losing double tap to select

    Hello! New laptop, new touchpad. Found the "Tap twice and drag to multi-select" feature.

    I want to be able to do two things:

    1) Double tap on a word to select the entire word

    2) Double tap and drag (on whatever; e.g. a scrollbar) to drag the thing

    If I turn ON "Tap twice and drag to multi-select" I can't do #1

    If I turn OFF "Tap twice and drag to multi-select" I can't do #2

    I want to get #1 and #2 working at the same time. I've had that functionality with all my other laptops.

    Please help! Thanks Single click drag turned into a double click drag? :)
