Mouse Pointer Auto Selecting?

I got a laptop not long ago and I have noticed that when I leave my mouse pointer over anything it will automcaitcally do that function without me clicking it. Like if I leave it over the TURN OFF COMPUTER button for 2 seconds it brings up the options for turning it off. I hate that. How do I turn it off?
 
in windows xp

start - settings - control panel - mouse - Pointer Options tab "Snap to" make sure thats not checked on.

also if you have mouse software installed it could be in the software also.

Disable "tap to click" in the touchpad options (the thing that makes it so you can tap the touchpad and have it count as a mouse click). Or learn to use a lighter touch with it. 😛
