RIGHT CLICK in Win 7 - Boot Camp 5.1 not working

first: Background: MacBook A1278 - fresh install of Yosemate, Then used Boot Camp 5.156 and installed W7 ultimate. A few things does not work right of the bat, but most important to me is the right click (I love it, can not live without it in Windows). Also there is not Boot Camp app in the Win Control Panel so can't do config of the trackpad and probably many other sittings. Note on the OS X side I enabled right click and working fine (almost like windows). So what I've done so far to fix it? Re- installed drivers for trackpad manually from BootCamp 5.1 no change. Also tried drivers from Boot Camp 4.... ( some other post suggested) no change either. In fact even the left click (trackpad) is not perfect. And again not in OS X the trackpad works fine there. In many instances I must click many times or there is a delay to take in effect of clicking. When a Mouse connected right click is fine. Any suggestions?

FYI - Froze with the modded nVidia driver 197.16. Happened when I moved a window. It's so random. Next day Windows Update notified me of a new graphics update (197.45) installed that but then froze randomly when I had Team Fortress 2 running in the main menu.
When it first happened I didnt get any errors in the Event Viewer.
Here's a few I recently got in the last freeze.

  • HT1899 Installed windows 8 through boot camp ,track pad not working

    I installed windows 8 though boot camp , track pad not working

    The update to boot camp is now available!
    Just installed Windows 8.1 Pro to my MacBook Pro, Retina, Mid 2012, OS X 10.8.5: Memory 16GB 1600MHz DDR3
    After going through the usual process from boot camp, then installed windows and the support drivers... the trackpad rt click did not work. I had to then go download the boot camp again from windows 8 using the url below and ran the set up.exe from the boot camp folder you can download from below. Run it within windows 8.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638
    Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
    This solved the Trackpad Right Clicking issue (not working) as well as tapping.
    The wireless and network connectivity issues where resolved as well. The Boot camp support software enabled a boot camp control panel available in the windows 8 system tray and from there you can enable the track pad to tap and use the secondary click.

  • How to enable right click and taping in Boot Camp 3.1 for Windows XP SP3?

    I have my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 running on it...finally could instal Boot Camp 3.0 and then updated to 3.1 in Windows XP SP3.
    The trackpad recognizes only left click and do not recognize taping!What to do?

    Check the Driver folder on the Boot Camp Driver Support DVD, or CD, you made.
    Look in the Apple folder under Drivers. It is called AppleMultiTouchTrackPadInstaller.exe
    That should install a Control Panel Applet.
    EDIT:
    There is another in that folder called AppleTrackPadInstaller.exe

  • Boot Camp 5.1 not working with iMac late 2013 3 TB

    I tried to use Boot Camp 5.1 on my new iMac with 3TB FD. I bought a Win 8.1 OEM DVD with key.
    I followed the instructions of Boot Camp (deselcted the first step with ISO because I have the DVD). When it comes to the windows installation I can't select the BOOTCAMP partition because of the used GPT-style.
    I thought this problem was fixed with OS X 10.9 and Boot Camp 5.1.
    Do you have any ideas?

    From MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) - Technical Specifications, you have a built-in Optical drive. Is it functional?

    You will need to burn a DVD using Disk Utility (Yosemite): Burn a disk image to a CD or DVD and use it for Windows installation. You will also need a USB2 flash disk for the BC drivers for it to work. Please ensure that the DVD is burnt at the recommend rate for the physical media and verify, otherwise you will end up with an unusable DVD.

  • Right click clip in sequence to remove attributes does not work?

    Trying to get my old head around the three way color corrector. In the process when I try to right click a clip in the sequence to remove the attributes it does not work. When I do it again the filter square is still ticked. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help. The transition from Avid to FCP is not an easy one for me.

    so someone else might be helped, you should link to the good captain's post or explain what you were doing wrong.

  • TS3048 Right click on Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keyboard are not working

    I have a 24" iMac, early 2009  Lion,10.7.5.  My wireless keyboard and mighty mouse are not working properly. Wireless keyboard- I can turn it on and it will ask me to pair it with the Blue Tooth.  I cannot log the numbers in - I even tried logging them in with my wired keyboard device (which is an Apple keyboard).
    My Mighty Mouse's right click stopped working as well. 
    I have gone through all of the troubleshooting steps-
    New Batteries - Cleared Blue tooth preferences list, repaired permissions, Cleared cache, Made sure that the settings were correct ex: key was not checked on mouse, Removed both devises (keyboard, and mouse) from blue tooth and allowed them to be discovered again, PRAM reset, Hardware check/ reset, and lastly, Reinstall of OSX.
    I am still having the same issue with both devices.
    Thank you.

    This is why you should always have a wired keyboard and mouse as backups.
    Try smc and hope for the best.
    I'd also suggest pram reset but you need the keyboard for that.

  • Boot Camp Vista Sound Not Working

    Hi, I am using Boot Camp 3.1 with drivers installed from
    Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD & Apple Software Update.
    I am booting to Windows Vista Home Premium on my
    MacBook late '09 with upgraded 4gig ram, and Mac OS X 10.6.2.
    However, my sound driver is not working on my Windows Vista,
    the system tray icon shows a Red X on audio settings.
    On Control Panel -> Device Manager, it shows a Yellow Exclaimation Mark
    on sound driver Cirrus Logic CS4602 (AB 01).
    I have tried reinstalling Realtek and Cirrus drivers from Mac OS X Install DVD,
    and downloading the latest HD Audio Driver from realtek website,
    but nothing works.
    It was working fine a while ago until I installed many Boot Camp updates
    and windows vista updates. I don't know what caused the problem.
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advanced.

    I'm having the exact same problem!!! When is apple going to fix the drivers???!!!

  • Boot Camp Assistant does not work

    I just installed leopard (clean install). When I start the boot camp assistant, I just get the error message that I need to upgrade the operating system..... anybody?

    I have the same problem and i have searched EVERYWHERE for an answer to it. The only thing i know is that my firmware is not correct. It does not need to be updated it says but it clearly does if you ask me.
    For me the Boot ROM Version is: MB11.0061.B02 and you need .B03 to use it. I have had this problem for ages when i tried to setup windows on ma mac using the Beta version of Boot Camp, when i was using Tiger. I was hoping when i bought Leopard this problem would have been solved but nope, nothing.
    Is there anyway to go back to original firmware and then update it again? There must be a way!!! Or do we have to wait for the next firmware update from apple?
    I upgraded my mac because of the option to add windows as well and due to my work i would love to have windows also.

  • Boot camp - internal mic not working

    I've spent hours reviewing various forums and have tried all suggestions I've found, to no avail. That said, I'll detail my steps here in the hope that someone can help, or that I can help someone else, or at least drive someone else nuts.
    This is a 20" iMac (early 2008) running Snow Leopard + Window 7 Professional w/ Boot Camp 3.1 drivers (you know, the ones that fully support Windows 7).
    By default (that is, without Boot Camp drivers installed), Windows recognizes a "High Definition Audio Device." Sound doesn't work, but the internal mic does work, as evidenced by the fact that speaking or tapping on the top of the computer results in movement of the green bars that appear in the Recording Devices dialogue.
    After installing the Boot Camp drivers (or any more recent version of the Realtek drivers, including 2.41 that became available today), the "High Definition Audio Device" becomes "Realtek High Definition Audio." Sound works (poorly compared to OS X, but **** at least something comes out), but the microphone does not. In the Recording Devices dialogue, speaking, tapping, yelling, and swearing doesn't register per the green bars.
    I've reviewed many a post, and have tried the following:
    1. Uninstalled the Realtek driver, leaving only the default Microsoft driver, reboot, updated to the Realtek driver by browsing to the files from Device Manager instead of running Setup, reboot. This installs the driver, doesn't install Realtek HD Audio Manager, sound = yes, mic = no. Crap.
    2. Uninstalled the Realtek driver, leaving only the default Microsoft driver, reboot, installed the Realtek driver by running Setup, reboot. Sound = yes, mic = no. Crap crap.
    3. Uninstalled the Realtek driver, leaving only the default Microsoft driver, reboot, installed the Realtek driver by running Setup as Administrator, reboot. Sound = yes, mic = no. Crap crappity crap.
    4. Uninstalled the Realtek driver, leaving only the default Microsoft driver, reboot, installed the Realtek driver by running Setup in Vista compatibility mode, reboot. Sound = yes, mic = no. Crap crappity crap crap.
    So I'm certain both the microphone and speaker hardware work. The Microsoft driver gets me mic but no sound, and the Realtek driver gets me sound but no mic.
    Any helpful thoughts and comments are MUCH appreciated, and for the love of God if you're going to jump in with "what are you doing running Windows 7 on a Mac anyways" please save it.
    Thanks!

    I'm having the exact same problem!!! When is apple going to fix the drivers???!!!

  • Boot Camp Assistant does not allow partiton when my disk is the right format

    Boot Camp Assistant does not allow partiton when my disk is the right format - (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume).
    When I go to the Boot Camp Assistant to partition the Macintosh HD disk, an error comes up saying,
    "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved
    Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    Please help me out! I would really appreciate it!

    I was not allowed the Repair Disk option. I tryed Verify Disk, and an error came up saying,
    "The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk."
    What should I do?

  • How to enable VT-x for Win 7 boot camp partition MacBook pro?

    I am trying to install HAXM to accelerate my android emulator, but I am having problems. I have a Win 7 bootcamp partition in my Macbook Pro, and when I am finishing the installation a message pops up saying that my VT-x is not enabled, the problem is that I can't access the BIOS to turn on the virtualization easily like a PC user, How to enable the VT-x for Win 7 boot camp partition?
    The VT-x is running beautiful in my macintosh partition, but I can't understand why in my boot camp partition the VT-x remains disabled.
    My processor is a Intel Core I5-2435M , I downloaded the intel processor identification utility, and my processor supports the virtualization tech and hyper-threading tech.

    You can return that Mac for a full refund if it is less than 14 days from date of purchase.

    I have the same problem. Have you figured this out yet? I just bought a MacBook Air 2013. I thought I would be able to use Virtualization because it has a supported processor, but now it won't work in Boot Camp.

  • How do I remove the Windows partition? Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the remove option.

    I am using an iMac, 8.1, early 2008. I installed Windows XP at that time. I am now using OS 10.8.5 and want to remove the Windows partition to free up disk space. Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the "install or remove" option. How can I get rid of the Windows partition?

    You can try removing it in Disk Utility.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. Select the bottom rectangle/partition. Click on the Delete [-] button below the sizing window to remove it. Click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    4. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for the remaining partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and drag it all the way down to the bottom. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. 
    You should now have a restored single volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • Can't install windows it says the boot camp partition is not formatted as a NTFS file structure

    Using boot camp assistant it gets to the point of installing windows 7 and it won't because the boot camp partition is not a NTFS file structure. It also seems strange to me that there are 5 partitions would have expect ether 2 or 3. Please help this is very frustrating.
    Thanks in advance

    Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
    Format the partition as NTFS.

  • *BOOT CAMP* Windows XP not picking up wireless signal on Lion

    I just got a new iMac two days ago and was able to install Windows XP from my old Dell Latitude boot disk. Yes, I thought it was odd... But it worked. I do understand that Lion only provides Windows 7 drivers in Boot Camp Assistant, but I was able to install Boot Camp 3.0 and 3.1 drivers for XP, right from the Apple Support Boot Camp driver link.
    Well... My main issue lies here... When I switch to the XP side, it wont pick up a wireless signal. That's all I need so that I can start updating Windows from the internet, but it is not picking anything up.
    I'm assuming that I am just missing the driver, but like I said, I installed the drivers provided by Apple. This is very frustrating and am not sure what to do.
    Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
    Brian

    This appears to be a problem with some of the newest MacBooks. There are several posts on this issue. It is possible that, as you seem to have noticed, switching to an NTFS formatted partition will solve the problem. See e.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5947955&#5947955

  • Boot Camp Assistant won't work - keeps asking me to use Software Update.

    I am trying to use Boot Camp to install Windows but my Boot Camp Assistant won't work - it keeps asking me to use Software Update. So, even though I know everything is up to date, I start Software Update and it confirms that indeed everything is up to date. I try Boot Camp Assistant again, but the same message appears. I search every possible Boot Camp upgrade to download from Apple but they are all .exe files and need Windows to run, so those don't seem to be what I need. So I am caught in a circle of nothing working. Figures - the ONE weekend I need to install Windows and use a Windows-based program!!! And of course Apple support is closed over the weekend - another great asset to spending thousands of dollars on a product. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    I too am having a similar problem. I am trying to install Windows in a newly created Boot Camp partition. I have Windows 7 but Boot Camp Assistant only mentions XP and Vista. I put in my installation disk of Windows 7 but it refuses to install it. My OS is fully up to date.
