How do I turn off the tap feature on laptop touch pad [HP NC4200 XP pro sp3]?
It's far to sensitive and make navigation tricky on some sites.

I don't have an XP Laptop but try this:
Open Control Panel, in the search bar in the upper right corner. Click then type in mouse.
It will have all the options.
Go to the "Device Settings" label.
Click on tap to click, there will be a check box with a check.
Click it and it will not use tap to click.

Try it without downloading the driver first and see if it works, from para 2 in the instructions.

There is no advanced feature tab on my mouse control panel.
In the system tray, right click on the touch pad icon. Select mouse properties and make changes there. Rather than disabling the doubleclick (untick the button in the tapping tab) why not change the speed of click instead?
You mention site navigation- if the issue is accidentally going back and forth through pages then you need to turn off web assistant in the scrolling tab- I always turn this off as it annoys me!!!

Get there yet.
Have a look at HP's own Support Web Site:

No icon in system tray.
Site problem not related to page skipping, page moves up and down or jump as movement on pad is randomly detected as tap.
Have tried Hp site, none of the instruction can be followed as written there.
Will check in the morning off to slumberland now.

Sounds like scroll function needs to be turned of then rather than the double tap, I know what you mean now.
Have alook here at SirJs solution

Not a scrolling problem, [do not have a auto scroll feature.]
BUTTONS-POINTERS-POINTER OPTIONS-HARDWARE
sometimes it is called virtual scrolling.
one of my old laptops has the same touch pad- i will fire it up this eve and post back
had a look at my ols laptop, unlike you I have an icon in the system tray which as many tabs when clicked on, including the annoying virtual scrolling.
I guess you need to download the synaptics software to be able to make the changes.
