I see someone has suggested some games, I hope that helps you out.  If not,
you might consider getting a trackball.  I had one designed for toddlers,
with quite a big ball, not the little marble built into some keyboards.  You
could load the Accessibility Options, which would allow the job of 'holding
down a button for a drag' to be executed as a click to select, drag, and
click to release, so two tasks are performed separately, and with one hand
on the trackball, rather than simultaneously on the touchpad of the laptop.

This is probably not a question for this list but -

My brother has had a stroke and has been in a nursing home for two
years.  He is paralyzed on his right side.  He loves to play solitaire on
the computer and has an ancient laptop in his room.  Does any one know of a
stand alone version of solitaire that has a good display filling the screen
and which permits moving the cards with a right or left mouse click.  The
one that comes with windows fills only half the screen and moving a series
of cards requires a drag and drop which he cannot do with only one hand
using the mouse pad built into the computer .  There are lots of games on
the web but all I have found are packaged with hundreds of variations of
the game which confuses him when he gets to the menu and has to make a
choice.  His computer is running Win95 and is limited to 64mb memory.  The
1.5 gb hard drive is also a limiting factor.  I would love to be able to
provide him with something from his normal life he can do independently
during the long periods he spends sitting in his room.
