Clickable trackpad in Windows XP?

I'm testing a Windows application via Boot Camp and, while everything installed beautifully, I'm really struggling with the (archaic by comparison) Windows interface. Is there ANY way to make the trackpad clickable? There was a software hack for this on the Mac side way back in the late eighties, yet I can find nothing for Windows anywhere.

Parallels takes care of this.

Has anyone figured a way to use the Magic Trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

Has anyone figured a way to use the magic trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

Yes. After Windows/Bootcamp discovers your bluetooth device (Magic Trackpad or Mouse, be sure to make it discoverable), right click, with your wired mouse, of course, on the icon and select Properties.
Then check the mouse drivers box and your device should work. (I located this solution on another thread)
It works for both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.
Must admit, the solution was not intuitive within the Windows environment. But we all must remember. It IS Windows, after all.
Another thing. Keep in mind that the gestures on these devices that work just dandy in OSX do not carry over into Windows.
It's Windows.

Using trackpad in windows

Cannot disable trackpad for Windows (in Bootcamp). No option provided to ignore accidental inputs when typing (despite the fact that Bootcamp control panel Trackpad Help indicates that there is).

This does nothing special. It is a click and when you release the command key it works like the windows button just like the left command key. This seems to be a pretty major oversight considering that no mac notebook has a right mousebutton and it's pretty inconvinient to tote around a windows mouse. There has to be some right click shortcut I am missing.

Multitouch support for trackpad on Windows

Is there any way to enable full multitouch support for the Macbook Pro trackpad under Windows? The two-finger scrolling works perfectly but I miss the three finger swipe and thre-finger flick whenever I boot on Windows.

I see :/
I've installed the Trackpad++ driver described in your second link and it has actually improved the tracking and scrolling speed. However, it does not include support for three or four finger actions. The developer seems to be planning to in later releases though.
Thanks

Configure trackpad in windows

dear friends,
how to configure the trackpad in windows xp os.
is there any drivers need to install?
regards,

Similar problem... brand new MacBook Pros (24 of them). Dual booting Leopard and XP SP3. Trackpad works fine on all but 2 on the XP side...no functionality whatsoever. Finally got it working on both by doing the following:
Go to Add/Remove Programs. Down at the bottom in the Windows Driver Package section, remove Apple Trackpad, Apple Trackpad Enabler and Apple Multitouch (not Apple Multitouch Mouse). Restart the computer. Insert the Mac OS X Leopard install DVD (the one that came with the MacBook). Right click on the DVD and choose Explore. Navigate to D:\Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple. Install AppleTrackpadInstaller and AppleMultiTouchTrackPadInstaller. The trackpad should work after installing the first one; the second one is just for good measure. I think it adds extra functionality. Of course, this is all much easier if you've got a spare mouse to plug-in!
Hope this helps someone out there... as it has taken me the better part of 2 days to get it working.

Multi-Touch Trackpad in Windows 7 Pro x64

Macbook Pro Unibody
OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard)
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Bootcamp 2.1
Trackpad Update 1.1
Just upgraded my Boot Camp partition from Win XP x32 to Win 7 x64. Or rather, I did a clean install, not an upgrade. I'm running all of the above listed stuff. Muti-Touch isn't working on the tack pad, so I don't have RMB functionality and I'm really missing two finger scrolling.
Also, looking in the Boot Camp Control Panel, I don't appear to have any trackpad options, even after installing the trackpad update. I just tried installing it again, and I get a message saying that it won't update my drivers for the tackpad because what I'm trying to install isn't better than what I already have. That's all well and good, but the pad still isn't working with multi-touch.
Any helpful suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I didn't do anything proactive to get it to work, just the things I mentioned above. Installed Boot Camp 2.1, installed the Trackpad 1.1 update, uninstalled Boot Camp 2.1, Installed Boot Camp 3.0. Side scrolling just started working.
The only thing that's a tad finicky is multi-touch RMB. It works, more or less, but, for example, if I RMB on a bookmark in Firefox to access it's properties (let's say I want to rename it), I have to hold my two fingers down in the click position as as I move the cursor into the conext menu. Otherwise it will launch the bookmarked page. So you can't just two-finger-click on something to evoke a context menu, let go, then use one finger to navigate to the option you want, which is how I would expect it to work.

Multi-touch trackpad in Windows 7?

Ok, so I know that there is not a driver for windows 7 yet with the trackpad. But Windows 7 is built upon Vista so the drivers should work with no problems. The only thing is that when I try to install the driver it tells me that "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed". Ok... I get that, but is there a way to decompress the .exe to extract the drivers? Then I could just use the add new hardware feature and install them manually. I am really getting tired of using two finger clicks to right click.

This is exactly what i did, and its works for me ( tap click, 2 finger right click, 2 finger scroll )
1. Down load this file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/186372631/Archive.zip
2. Manually install 2 files Applemultitouch, Appletrackpad
3. Reboot.
4. Update the "new mutitouch driver" as described in my original message.
5. Reboot.
6. Go to Control Panel, Boot Camp, customize the behavior of you touchpad
(PS. FYI I did try the compatibility mode,as some one said, DID NOT WORK!) This message is written in my
Boot camp 7, with the "new" 2-finger touchpad!

Intermittent response of the trackpad in Windows 7 with Bootcamp 3.0

Hi all,
I have a problem with the trackpad (in macbook air). In Windows 7 with bootcamp 3.0, sometimes (more often after waking up from sleep) the trackpad does not response smoothly. It intermittently stops responding a few seconds and works again. When I plug in a USB mouse and use it, there is no such problem with the USB mouse. This problem only happens with the trackpad. I suspect this problem is caused by the bootcamp driver with Windows 7. Is there anybody who has the same problem?
Cheers,

Force a chkdsk
chkdsk C: /f
Change "C" to what your system drive is.
Boot from your system disk for Windows if it still happens.
Next step is to scan for bad blocks, then move on to recertify the drive.
But I would not be using the drive, and unless it is totally benign and erroneous, looking for a patch or fix. Definitely not from Windows Update.
I've had drives that really should be certified and extended test - in Windows - to look for bad sectors before using or installing a system.
If it is an issue with dual-boot and you shrunk Vista to make room, EasyBCD along with Windows DVD might help.
If something is interferring with shutdown and not writing out changes that are cached, might look in that direction.
Last, if you upgraded from Vista, maybe a custom clean install again. Backup your data with Windows Easy Transfer first and reinstall system and apps afterwards.
Maybe Windows backup image and restore, or Norton Ghost 15 comes out tomorrow. Not sure I'd trust WinClone, Windows 7 made changes, and there is now a 100MB system recovery partition... which I'm surprised it doesn't automatically ask to use.

Retina MacBook Pro Trackpad in Windows 8

Hello, and apologies if this has been answered anywhere, I've been digging for hours and to no avail.
I just recently picked up the new Retina MacBook Pro, and I'm having issues with the trackpad in boot camped Windows 8. For reference, the trackpad worked fine in Windows 7, and I used the same Windows Support drivers that Boot Camp downloaded for both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
The issue manifests itself as such:
Windows receives no input from Trackpad at all
2 "Touchpads" appear in Device Manager in Windows 8
Both touchpads have yellow yield sign indicating on further inspection "driver installed improperly"
So far I've tried the following:
Uninstall and re-scan for devices
Reinstall by running repair with boot camp utility
Older versions of the driver in boot camp
Running the individual boot camp driver directly (results in "you need to run 64 bit version of DPInst.exe"
Extracting boot camp driver archive, replacing DPInst.exe with a 64 bit version, running DPInst.exe as well as re-archiving and running the driver
Checking online for additional drivers, including Microsoft's auto-check functionality
Each of these methods have resulted in the same thing, 2 touchpads appearing with "incorrectly installed drivers." I'm at a total loss, if anyone has had any success conquering this issue, or if you've simply been able to use your Trackpad on your RMBP, please share your steps!
Cheers.

To make the trackpad work. You need to install trackpad++
(http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4967-trackpad-control-module.html), it will enable the trackpad driver on boot camp. After you install the trackpad++, trackpad++ will complain something. ingnore it. You should be able to enable trackpad. And you can now even uninstall the trackpad++, the trackpad will sill work.
brightness, what graphics card are you using? It might be due to the auto adjusting brightness running there. You can go to your power options, edit the one you are using (Change plan settings >> Change advanced power settings) and look for Batteries >> Enable adaptive brightness and disable the one you are using. After that, the scrollbar for adjusting brightness in power options should work again.
bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4079148
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties".
Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one.
As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back.
Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem.
This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer.
So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.

Magic Trackpad on Windows?

Hi... Will magic trackpad work on Windows 7/8? (Real Windows PC/laptop not Windows in Mac)

No. Sorry. Only works on Mac OS X.
But if you'd like to buy touch mouse - Microsoft sells tons of them!

Applemtp.sys (Trackpad) prevent Windows from booting

I just installed Windows with Boot Camp 3.0 (310) and the drivers on my CD with my new Macbook Pro.
Windows don't seems to boot and take many minutes to boot when the applemtp.sys is here (it's the trackpad drivers). It show the Windows logo at startup and between this and the Windows logon screen, it have a black screen for a long time (at least five minutes when it decide to open Windows).
To be able to boot rapidly, I need to disable this file by renaming it applemtp.sys.bck. All work perfectly except I disable trackpad features (scroll, right click...).
Any ideas? I really miss these mouse's features!
Thx

The driver version is 2.1.2.112 and I tried with 2.1.2.100 without more success. I'll try to find older drivers version to view if that help!
Thx

Using the trackpad in Windows - Where's right click?

The age old Mac vs. PC question. While the command click does help for osx it doesnt work in windows vista or XP - any help to keep me from needing an external mouse.

This does nothing special. It is a click and when you release the command key it works like the windows button just like the left command key. This seems to be a pretty major oversight considering that no mac notebook has a right mousebutton and it's pretty inconvinient to tote around a windows mouse. There has to be some right click shortcut I am missing.

Trackpad issues - Windows 7 64-bit

Hi. This may have been posted already, but I can't seem to find any topics. I just installed Windows 7 64-bit on my Macbook, 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo, and am unable to right click when in Boot Camp. I'm running OSX 10.6.6. Should I just install the 32-bit version, or is there a fix that allows me to run 64-bit and be able to right click. Having left click only is kind of a drag.

in osx bootcamp program one creates a usb stick or disc with the required apple drivers
installing that made my imacs magic pad work in windows 7 and later windwows8

Using the Touchpad/Trackpad on Windows XP

I have bought a macbook 2.4Ghz 13" and I was wondering is there a way to activate the touchpad on windows.
Example: If you want to left click on something you need to CLICK on the touchpad not just touch it.
I read somewhere that there are some additional softwares to Win Xp that can be installed to get the touchpad working.

It will work fine. Anything that works on Intel x86 architecture will work with Athlon stuff.
