Okay, so my job got me this HP laptop, with Windows XP, I think and I can't figure out something so (duh!) easy, obvious that I feel dumb for asking. The computer lab person at my school is hit & miss, she's going through a lot and doesn't always come to work, so I can't count on hauling this thing in and then trying to fix it.

Okay, anyway, the problem is..when I'm on a webpage, and the mouse kind of "hovers" over a link for maybe one second, it automatically opens that page. I have a mac at home, which I prefer to use. But since I'm going to use this thing for work and the occasional google check, I would like it to stop doing that. Where can I find the preferences?

Can anyone help!?!

That's really weird and should not happen. Have you tried going into Start, Control Panel, Mouse and see if anything in there would turn that off?
