its in the control pannel settings to make tapping count as a command. Assuming your talking about XP.

Also its not the laptop thats important here, knowing the OS would help  ;)

Not used Vista in anger, but check control panel touch pad settings.

If you have the little touch pad icon near the clock right click it and make sure there is a tick next to "Tap to Click".

1. Make & model of laptop

2. Is the Touchpad software (normally Synaptics) installed?

If the answer to number 2 is yes, then check the properties of the Synaptics software.

Also check that the touchpad isn't the multifunction type, because if it is then there is a chance the user has dropped the touchpad in to an alternative mode.
