I DO NOT like the hover select feature of my Motion 1400
tablet PC. I want to disable this function for both the
pen and mouse use. I have communicated with the Motion
technical experts to no avail.

Is there any way to completely disable the hover function?

Al, could you tell us exactly what you're doing when you get this? If the
TIP are opening when you point at them rather than tap, that's changeable in
the options of the Tablet Input Panel.

Might also (beside what Terri suggested) check your mouse settings in
Control Panel/Mouse. Depending on the drivers you're running, even the
Touchpad software may be of issue here.

A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE Motion 1400 tablet PC software
is to select a program, file, document etc. just by
hovering over the subject. This can be done with the pen
or the mouse arrow. I am used to pointing to an object to
open the little information box to see what is there
without actually opening or starting the operation. As
you see this is NOT an error or computer problem. It is
my preference to only open the subject by actaully
tapping or clicking. I have been to the pen options
screen and there is no setting to disable this function.
There is a function to minimize the scan area but I want
to completely eliminate the ability to select by
hovering. I have been in contact with the Motion
technicians and they only recommended the obvious
tweaking. I have performed the following, but I don't
know if it is correct or if it will cause other problems.
1. Create a restore point.
2. Click Start, Run, type regedit, click OK.
3. Find "hover"
4. Of the many finds the one most likely to be correct is:
My
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MicroSoft\Int ernetExp
lorer\AdvancedOptions\Browse\ULINKS\HOVER.
5. I right clicked checkedvalue and Modified "hover"
to "no".
6. I right clicked defaultvalue and Modified "yes"
to "no".
7. Exit.
I have not had it changed long enough to know if it
really works or if it has caused any other problems. If
you can evaluate this change and let me know your
assessment I would appreciate your feedback.

Al, we're users here who attempt to help other users, which is why we asked
the questions of where you were seeing this happening on your machine.
Personally, I change the "point/select" settings wherever I happen to run
into them and have never had an issue with selections I didn't want. Unless
it is something brand new with the 1400, I haven't seen it before.

Are you referring to selecting things like files and such? You may not be
dealing with a tablet issue at all, but a normal windows setting.

In windows explorer, go to tools, options, and on the general tab, there's a
"click items as follows" box. Make sure double click to open an item is
selected. The single click options will highlight things as you move the
mouse - which could be why you get things selected when hovering.

I get files and programs selected when I am scanning a
list just looking. I have to wait for the hover selected
item to open and then close it before going on.
I don't want to select using hover. I want to completely
disable the hover function. I prefer to select using taps
with the pen or clicks with the mouse. There is no way in
the "point/select" settings to disable the hover function.
I appreciate the help and I am now trying to confirm that
my solution was correct and that I have not caused any
other damage. I know that the registry is very touchy
about changes and when I make a change that was not
specifically advised by a competent authority I like to
have my actions verified.

I don't know what you've done in the Registry, but John posted elsewhere:
=====
In windows explorer, go to tools, options, and on the general tab, there's a
"click items as follows" box. Make sure double click to open an item is
selected. The single click options will highlight things as you move the
mouse - which could be why you get things selected when hovering.
=====

It is a normal, operating system selection item and not Tablet PC-specific.
Simple adjustment of the options available in Windows XP.

My apologies, I talked again to a Motion technician (a
different one) and found that the actions I was
encountering were not normal. (I assumed they were
because my Motion computer always worked that way.) We
changed the registry entries back and disabled the
touchpad. He also suggested that my pen may be defective.
Anyway the problem has not happened again and I hope it
is OK now.
Thanks for your interest and dialogs on this problem.

That's cool. Wonder why the interference between the touchpad and pen
selection? Unless somehow all those touchpad settings were overriding the
pen.

Chris,
I now believe that my touchpad is defective. I did not
report this before but once in a while I would get a
right click while the arrow was in a blank part of the
screen during virus scanning by my Norton software. I
usually keep my touchpad active so I can use the left and
right clicks from there. I have now disabled the touchpad
permanently and neither of the problems have occurred. As
reported before this select problem was also occurring
from the mouse point, so it is most likely the touchpad
rather than the pen as I suggested ealier.
Thanks again for your interest,
Al

If you disable Norton, does the problem disappear?
