I am sorry to have wasted your time but i have fixed it...well my Technophobe grandson did.

For anyone with the same problem it is cured by going into Taps section, touch sensitivity click the box with -

"Tap with a single finger to single click".

Then at the bottom of the same section click the box

"Press the bottom right corner of the touchpad to right-click"
