I just installed windows on my macbook, I know windows, I have a custom PC and many old others. I have installed the drivers bootcamp has you write to a CD, but the only way I have been able to right click is to connect an old USB mouse and do it, is there a keystroke to use just the touchpad on the macbook, or a setting I have to change or something.
I miss the days of the G5 and XPS Pentium 4 running side by side as high-end machines.

Easy: rest two fingers on the trackpad while you click the button. Tada!

Any ramblings are entirely my own, and do not represent those of my employers, coworkers, friends, or species

Oh, I didn't know it was just like the mac setting, I didn't have mine configured for it, thanks.

In Mac OS X, you don't have to click the button. You just tap the trackpad with two fingers to right-click. Hopefully this is the way it will work in final Boot Camp.

That's good to know. I have a bluetooth mouse I use, but that isn't always a feasible option.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.
