There is a free download to 8.1 for computers but I don't know if notebooks qualify. That is supposed to help with all the 8 frustrations.

Hubby just read that 8 and 8.1 are being surpassed by new Windows programs, that will be like the "older" versions.

When we bought this new computer we got the 7... whew!

I think this worked! When I checked the Folder Options, it said that it was already set to "Double Click." I restored it to default, then put it back to Double Click, and the hovering appears to have stopped. YEAH!

Bless you!!!!!!!
