Apple released an update to boot camp recently that at least added a driver for the touchpad. I have not found a way to click using the touchpad. You can click using the buttons on the touchpad. You can right click by holding two fingers on the touchpad and clicking the button. Can you click and right click using only the touchpad?

This will be my very first MAC. Yay! I've been reading all the Mac tutorials, and this one is the best so far--I too was "jabbing" the touchpad.... Yup, that was me at the Best Buy; the sales guy didn't know why the touchpad would not work. (No, I did NOT buy from them). Can't wait to begin enjoying my new Macbook Pro...

But how do you even GET to the checkbox when right now I can't/don't know how to click anything WITHOUT enabling the checkbox? I've been jabbing my trackpad for the past 30 minutes like a complete idiot. Please advise. I understand that you have to enable the checkbox.

I am another user who had been jamming away at the touchpad! You have prevented a severe case of carpal tunnel! The previous post dated August 10th referred to the 3rd button click/scroll. Is that different than using 2 fingers to swipe up and down the page? What is the apple key? Is that the command button? Thanks again for the help! This information has been so helpful.

Just found out that swiping to the left or right with three fingers sends safari back a page or forward a page ie. swiping to the left is back, to the right is forward. Loveit! can't wait to find more :D thanks for the tips, i’m a new macbook owner myself and I’m just playing around with the trackpad now.

Like many others, recently moved from a PC to a Mac myself. Using two hands for right clicking was getting very inconvenient. btw, I really like the two finger scroll feature on the Mac touchpad. Very intuitive! :) Thanks again for the article! Very helpful! Thanks for the tip on right clicking! Like many others, recently moved from a PC to a Mac myself.

By the way 'Drag Lock' option works this way: By double clicking and holding touchpad on any window title bar, window can be moved. In order to set the new position, tap again.
