Tap Touchpad And Select. Permanently Get Rid Of It.

How do I disable the automatic, unwanted feature on my Acer 8951 G that instantly selects something if I accidently lift my finger over something.  I am NOT speaking of FN F7.  I still want to move the curser.  I want a CHOICE.   I just want to ALWAYS manually click to select. I have had so many disasterous accidents.  I have finally disabled the awful hover and select - but no one on the web seems to be able to disable what I will call the "tap the touchpad to select."  Acer does NOT PROVIDE A MANUAL.  Acer HELP DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS TOPIC.  Acer's own search says "no match" to "touchpad," "touch sensitive pointing device," "MediaRemote," and multiple other attempts to search their own product help.  I will be so thankful if someone can help me.  I truly hate this IMPOSED feature.  The web is full of others complaining and no one has succeeded in disabling it.  Why hasn't Acer posted a solution - especially considering all of the complaints regarding both this feature and the lack of a knowable solution for disabling it?  Even writing this question has been difficult because unwanted things keep happening - selections, deletions, this whole thing disappearing (and then I have to start over). Please, ACER, get your act together.  Using this laptop ia a miserable experience because of this one imposed, unwanted feature.
