nmeadow Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Ok i know you guys are going to laugh at me. But i just recently installed XP Pro on my MacBook Pro using the new Boot Camp solution from Apple. Well everything works fine except i have a one button mouse. I cannot find a way to get right click to work. I installed XP on here to eliminate my PC for the few programs that i need Windows for. Does anyone have an idea on how to create a hot key to initiate right click? I'm hoping i don't have to go buy a new bluetooth mouse for the times when i'm using windows.

andsome Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Welcome to WF. Have you tried START/CONTROL PANEL/PRINTERS AND OTHER HARDWARE/MOUSE, and looked at the properties in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmeadow Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Yes there is nothing in there because all apple mice and touchpads are considered generic hardware in the system properties. I may have to write a simple program for it or just buy a 2 button mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 After a bit of digging about I found this FAQ page for the Macbook Prohttp://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303575I'm afraid you are out of luck :( Basic tracking works, but acceleration, scrolling, and right-click support are not available in Windows.

nmeadow Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thanks for looking. I guess i'll have to buy a new mouse. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 You can try holding the Command key and clicking. I'm pretty sure that Alt+Click (or Ctrl+Click or something like that) on a standard Windows keyboard will simulate right-click... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmeadow Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Doesn't work. At least on the MacBook Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
