Is there anyway to use the two finger click act as a right click like it does in macosx? This would be very convenient.

Sorry of this is a repost.

If you have updated to Boot Camp 1.1 and updated your drivers, then you can Right Apple-Click to do a right click in Windows on a laptop.

hatim, reinstall Windows. If the whole OS crashed when you tried to install drivers, there's something seriously wrong with it. Unlike OS X, Windows depends on a large number of independent and yet interdependent files to operate properly. It's possible to hose up the whole thing with one or two garbled files. With as fast as the Intel Macs run, it shouldn't take that long to reinstall.

1) Did "Windows" itself crash, or did the driver installation just not work?

2) Are you absolutely positive your XP Installation Media installed Service Pack 2? (To find out click the Start button, select "Run" and type in winver. If it doesn't say Service Pack 2 anyhere in the window that pops up, it didn't.)

If the answer to #2 is no, then you'll need to Slipstream SP2 into an XP Install Disc, then start all over again with Boot Camp.

The mouse worked, nothing else. When I restarted windows worked fine and when I ran the installations no new drivers were installed. Im willing to reformat if the double click does indeed work.

Do you have SP2 installed, though?
