2011 17" MBP TrackPad Left and Right Click Intermittent in Win7/64

A few weeks ago I installed Win7 Pro 64 via Bootcamp in a new 2011 MBP 17 (2.3gig). Since day one the trackpad left and right click buttons have been intermittent in Windows only.
For example, while surfing the web some clicks work, others don't, often have to repeat clicks to get it to work, then next time it will work the first time. This is not just a Safari problem, it happens in every program including the Finder.
I think it is a driver issue and Apple needs to get on the ball and fix the problem and send out an update (yes I have the latest version).
I saw where a guy had written drivers to address the problems with the low quality Apple drivers. His is called TrackPad+++ but it is bloated and I'd rather not install it nor should have to.
Anyone else having this problem or found a good solution? BTW an external USB mouse works great.

After a little bit of looking around i found my answer! Use the BootCamp Control Panel that you can call up by clicking on the boot camp icon in the notifications panel. There one can enable tap to click, dragging, and right click.

Trackpad won't move curser mouse does. Left and right click working fine

Hello everyone,
I have a problem. Out of nowhere my trackpad won't move the curser anymore. Connecting a USB mouse does. Left and right click are still working fine. Any ideas of how to fix it?
Thanks
Dave

Hey there DaveDaMac,
It sounds like your built in track pad is not responding at all, but your USB mouse works without issue. I recommend the troubleshooting in this article for you named:
Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248
Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Hi all, new here so go easy with me ) I have a new HP pavilion G6 notebook PC, the touch pad works however not the left and right click buttons?

Hi Sy,
First, download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53501-54000/sp53851.exe
Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
Now follow the directions under the sub-heading 'Adjust horizontal and vertical scrolling' in the document on the link below to configure the scroll options as you require.

Left and right click at the same time?

Is there a way to get the magic mouse to do left and right click at the same time? Useful for well.. gaming.

Check out the free Magicprefs software. You can then assign different functions to different clicks. swipes, taps, etc. There is an option for a two finger click and one of those options is "hold both right & left". It's free so you have noting to lose.

Left click acting like both left and right click

Left Click button is acting like both left and right click button HP 2000 Notebook PC

Could you try to use another mouse? If the other mouse works perfect, then your mouse pad must be damaged and you should look to get it fixed or just use a mouse instead. If not, then the settings on how the clicks act must have been altered.
Try to find a mouse to try first before looking at the settings for your mouse pad. You could maybe borrow one if anyone else has a computer with a mouse in your home.
While you do that, I'll work on searching if this is common and if their is a solution if it's the software.

My left and right click on the trackpad don't work.

From reading a number of the posts here, it would seem that trackpads not working is an issue that Apple may need to look into. I have personally resorted to using a mouse and the trackpad as a touchpad. For all the finger gestures, my trackpad works fine, but it doesn't respond at all to the left or right click options. It clicks audibly, but neither responds. There were some posts about playing around with a PRAM (whatever that may be), but surely there must be a more definitive solution. Does anyone know if this is an issue that is being addressed by Apple or does anyone know of a permanent solution? I don't mind continue to use the external mouse, but it seems a shame that the trackpad malfunctions and there is no apparent solution; that's unlike an Apple product. Your input would be appreciated.

This fixed it :
"Solution:
With the laptop open, turn it on to it's side. Repeatedly click the trackpad with a firm, but not excessive amount of force. Put the laptop on the other side and repeat.
I can't explain why this works. Perhaps some amount of debris or dust has built up under there ? I went from not being able to click-drag without an excessive amount of pressure, back to a normal amount of pressure after doing this."

Touchpad left and right clicks don't work on Yoga 2 pro

Hi,
I just bought a a yoga 2 pro. After setting up, I found that the two bottom keys, left and right keys on the trackpad do not work. Double tap also doesn't work. I reinstall the touchpad driver to no avail. Other gestures on the touchpad work fine, single tap registers as left click, two finger scroll also works. Also, when I use a blue tooth mouse, left and right key works fine.
I am not sure if this is a hardware problem as when I swipe on the area of the two bottom keys, they register the movement. Just not click. Anyone can help me?

Hello,
I've had a Yoga2 Pro now for six months or so. Just recently the left click stopped working correctly. What I notice is that when holding down the left click button on the touch pad, and I try to drag a slider (like a volume slider or to drag a selection box or to drag a scroll box on a page, or to highlight text) and it stops holding down the click. Sometimes it works, sometimes it keeps stopping.
Now, the right click is malfunctioning as well. I press right click on something like an image, and nothing happens. I have to right click on something 2-10 times now for it to register that I'm right clicking.
Also, should I be able to tap the touchpad with two fingers and have that be a right click, or am I just reading that I should be able to do that on the screen (which can)?
I have downloaded the drivers for the y2p touchpad and the y2-13 and the generic ones from the synaptics webpage, but before I uninstall my drivers and try to install those, I want to be sure that is the correct and only possible fix. I'm hoping its not a hardware malfunction. I am running Win 8.1.
Thank you.

Any methods or interfaces for Mouse Left and Right click actions?

Could anyone tell me the methods that I can use for setting up Mouse Left click and Mouse Right click actions? I checked the on-line API and could not find those specifications. Maybe I misses something and did not find them. If you just happen to know it, could you reply this message or you can tell me where I can search to find it. Thanks for your help. Bob

I believe you just set up to receive all mouse click events regardless of which mouse button the user clicked. When you get the MouseEvent object, call its getModifiers method to get an indication of which mouse button was pressed. Check the javadocs for MouseEvent, paying particular attention to "the button mask in the modifer field"

How can I cut and past on imac without a left and right click on mouse?

Trouble cut and pasting on an imac since mouse has no right and left clicks...how can I highlight something and cut and paste somewhere else?

Holding the Mouse button down and dragging across text should highlight it, and Command-C Command-V should allow you to copy/paste.

I used to be able to scroll with the button on my laptop (between left and right-click buttons) and now I can't

there's a square button on my laptop between the right and left-click buttons which is meant to use to scroll down pages with. it worked before I upgraded, and now id doesn't. how can I change that? my laptop is an Acer from e-machines
thanks!

Yoga 13 trackpad physically sticking in left and right corners

Ok, let me start by saying this is a brand new Yoga 13. The issue is not a software problem. The issue is that at least one or two times a day (sometimes more,) when left clicking or right clicking by pressing on the lower left and right bottom areas of the trackpad, the button/trackpad corner remains depressed. At that point, I need to press on the opposite side of the touch pad and then it pops back up.
I spent an hour on the phone with support and don't think I ever really got the phone person to understand that this wasn't a firmware issue- it wasn't a software issue - it was a hardware issue.
So here's where it gets interesting...
When we purchased the system right off the Lenovo website, we purchased the 3-year warranty with the damage protection and in-home servicing. While on the phone with customer support, the woman, and later her manager- reported that the in-home servicing was not available for the Yoga. Hard to believe since it is currently available as an add on. So, I'm not too sure where that leaves me. I have a brand new computer with an obvious hardware issue, tech support that is incapable of understanding my issue, and a company that is refusing to honor their own service plan.
Joe

probably your warrenty information is not in the dababase yet.
I'll pm him, but it wasn't the warranty database thing - they had all that information, they just said straight out that Lenovo would NOT send people to homes to repair Yoga systems. They said that they'd do it with any other Lenovo product (as long as you had the warranty) but not the Yoga.
Anyhow, I'll pm mark. Thanks!

Yeah, I remember someone posted that solution a long time
ago. It seems if you load a file with the same name the cache
doesn't
know any better and adjusts the download size to the smaller
one. Maybe it's a good way to do it! Could it be a way to remove an
mp3 from someone's cache after it plays? hmmmm Will have to
do more testing.

Vibration to the Left and Right of Trackpad?

I want to know if it's normal for the macbook to have vibration to the left and right of the trackpad. Thanks in advance.

It's not isolated and the vibrations transfer through the case.
If I put my hand on the top of the lid I can feel them there as well. Very slight and nothing to be worried about, but there nonetheless.

Left and right side of screen does not register mouse clicks.

The left and right side of my screen (when maximized) does not register a mouse click. I would estimate about 10 to 15 pixels in (top to bottom) before a button will register a click.
If I work with in firefox not maximized everything works fine. As it stands I have had to add buttons to the left and right side of my Firefox navigation area to utilize the back and home button. I am also not able to use my scroll bar do to this situation with out connecting an external mouse.
Operating system: Windows 7 Professional (64bit)
Resolution 1280x800
Computer: HP TouchSmart tm2 (1070us series)
This laptop does have the touchpad type mouse, I do not think this is the problem though as it will work if firefox is not maximized.
Assistance with this would be appreciated. I Love firefox but this is to much of an annoyance to deal with continually.

Not sure if its ever overheated... I've never left it in a hot car if thats what you mean. Sometimes it gets very hot if I'm using EDGE for a while. I don't push hard which is why I don't think I caused it...
I will bring it in this weekend and see what they say.
I also think that the speakerphone sounds fuzzy and muffled a lot more than it did when I first bought it. So just another reason to bring it in.
