Running bootcamp and right mouse click on windows

Hi all, I was just looking to setup WinXP on my machine and wanted to know how my macbook pro laptop mouse would deal with the right mouse click on windows? If I dont have an external mouse plugged into the laptop is there no right mouse click available?
Thanks!

Download a program called AppleMouse at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Other-Desktop-Enhancements/App le-Mouse-Utility.shtml. Unzip it the copy-and-paste "applemou.exe" to this directory through Windows Explorer: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Once copied, restart your computer back into Windows and login. You'll be able to right-click by holding down the control (ctrl) button and clicking.

Distinguish left and right mouse click

I am making some demo, I don't use any narration. How do I
tell the viewer when to use left mouse click and when to use right
mouse click? Can it be done automatically?

Hello Simon,
Hmmm, I don't think that there is anything in Captivate that
will automatically let the leaner know that you are
right-clicking...Here are some of the things that I might try.
1. Adding a text caption that notifies the learner that I am
right-clicking
2. At the very start of the demonstration point out to
learners that when they hear a certain sound this is an indication
that I am right-clicking.
3. Create a small animation that shows pressing the right
mouse button
4. Use one of the existing animations that you can find in
the Adobe Captivate 2 gallery such as visual clicks and again point
out at the beginning of the demo that when they see this animation
you are performing a right-click action, you could also record or
import audio onto your animation if you so desired.
Those are my (of the top of my head) thoughts . I am sure
that there are others.
Regards,
Mark

Left and right mouse coding for games

Hi
Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to find actionscript 2/3 coding for left and right mouse clicks for gaming. I am a student and want to design a game that will use both left and right mouse clicks on a object that will give different results depending on which mouse click you had made.
For example on a red object you click right, on a blue object you click left. Depending on how you clicked on a object will determine the next step in the code.
Does this make sense?
Cheers
Beth

I believe there is no method provided for isolating right clicks with a mouse in Flash. The right click is reserved for pulling up a menu and there are no properties associated with it in the code.

Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back." How in PP 2010 for mac????

I do presentations in PP10. I am new to macair, and used to Windows. HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"? I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back. The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box. I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC. How do I do it with the Mac????
Thanks

Hi Rod,
As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.

Hi Jagannath,
Try like this.. Double click on application -> go to parameters tab, in parameters give WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION and value 'X'. It will disable user settings, you get window when right click but no user settings available.

Identify left and right mouse button clicks?

I am wondering how is it possible to identify left mouse button click and right mouse button click using Java rather than just identify a mouse click.
Kumar

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can use MouseEvent's getButton() function.
For example
class MyListener implements MouseListener
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
        int btn = e.getButton();
        //btn = 1 (left button), btn=2 (right button) for 2 button mouse and so on...
}

3 Right Mouse Clicks and POOF!

I've had this problem since the day I bought this Mac and it's driving me nuts!
If I perform a right mouse click on a file or folder in order to use the Get Info command it works fine the first two times I do this. However on the 3rd time I use the right mouse button all open programs minimize, Finder shuts down, all the icons on my desktop disappear for a few seconds including those for hard drives. At first I just thought this was a faulty Mighty Mouse but I've now replaced that mouse with an M$ one and the problem is still there.
Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it as it's really irritating!!

It is a common error. Karn has picked up the confusion between iMac G5 instructions and iMac Intel instructions. It is now very important to know which iMac model the person has, because they are not the same and following the instructions for one can screw things up for the other.
The iMac G5 has a SMU and these are its instructions for resetting; iMac G5: How to Reset the SMU, Included is this Step 4 instruction; Plug in the power cord while *simultaneously pressing and holding the power button* on the back of the computer.
The iMac Intel has a SMC and these are its instructions for resetting; Intel-based iMac: How to reset the System Management Controller, Included is this Step 4 instruction; Plug the power cord back in, *making sure the power button is not being pressed* at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
I have searched the knowledge base and find no new instructions for the Aluminum iMacs, so I have to assume that the instructions have not changed for the new iMac Intel models.

Acrobat tries to reinstall when I right-mouse click - vista 32 bit

I bought and installed Adobe Master Suite. Now, whenever I right mouse click my start menu (or any icon for that matter), I get a message saying Acrobat needs to be configured, at which point Acrobat begins to reinstall itself. WOW. I must say i have not seen a bug like this since circa Windows 95. Makes me wonder how extensively Adobe tested Acrobat 9 with Vista 32 bit. Yikes. What next ? BSOD's?
Snarkiness aside, can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? I only found one instance in Google search, and of course it was one associated with the dreaded experts-exchange.com (we can only pray they will hire a careless sys admin who will accidentally nuke all their servers).
A few other posts said the only way to fix this issue is to re-install (tried it, doesn't work), or remove some registry keys to remove the Acrobat entry from the right mouse click context menu (which I don't want to do)
HELP
Thanks all
Mark

I'd recommend uninstalling Acrobat. Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool to remove all remnants of Acrobat and then re-install.

Right mouse click problem on T60p with WIN-XP SP3

I have T60p model. After upgrading my WIN-XP to SP3 i am facing problem with Right mouse click. Right mouse click starts working as left click. Initially when I reboot my machine it works fine but after sometime I start getting above mentioned problem. I even installed the latest mouse drivers(ultranav) from Lenovo site. Has anyone got this same problem? Looks like Lenovo should fix this problem.
Thanks in advance.

This isn't necessarily a driver problem, and it's not necessarily Lenovo's problem.
The primary and secondary mouse buttons can be switched by a program you are running, although it wouldn't seem that this is very likely.
Windows Start Menu | Settings | Control Panel | Mouse. This will take you to the Mouse PropertiesTabbed Dialog. Click on the Buttons tab. There you can see if the primary and secondary buttons are truly switched. If so, you can switch them back, without rebooting the machine.

I am using FireFox 4. Where is the "Bookmark All Tabs-" feature. I would like to save my Tabs for a later session. The selection is not on the menu when I right-mouse click or go to the Bookmarks feature of the Menu.

Missing "Bookmark All Tabs…" feature which was in previous versions of FireFox 3.x. If you right-mouse click on a neutral part of the Browser window, there would be choice of "Bookmark this page" or "Bookmark All Tabs…". I have been unable to find it either in the sub-menu or the BOOKMARK selection from the Menu Bar.

What do you mean by Tabs sub-menu is it right-clicking on a tab ?
I know that "ctrl-shift-D" still work.
I know that a right-click on a tab gives the "Bookmark all Tabs" function.
But I would like to see it back in the Bookmarks menu. (which is its logical place)
Because today the choice only disappeared from the menu as it is still reachable through keyboard shortcut or through mouse right-click on a tab
but tomorrow it will totally disappear and personally I don't want that as this is one of my favorite functionality.
Tank you for your understanding !

Right mouse click in word for mac

i just bought a g-5 intel core duo and i love it. though i am an experienced mac user this is my first time with the mighty mouse and i miss the right mouse click when i am in word for mac (2004): with my old mouse i could right mouse click on a word and get immediately into the thesaurus/dictionary, whereas with the one-click mighty mouse i have to go to tools, then thesaurus or dictionary, which takes several clicks. is it possible to program the mighty mouse so that i can get with one click to the thesaurus dictionary? thanks in advance. mmvski from amsteram

Are you trying to do this in Word for Mac or Word for Windows?
The Mighty Mouse buttons can be programmed on Mac OS X using Apple menu --> System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse.
On Windows go to Start --> Control Panels --> Mouse.
Hope this helps! bill

Having problem with right mouse click

When connected to a database and try to create a table using the right mouse click, only options available are a (grayed out) clear filter and help. Those options are the same when using the right mouse click on other objects. This is a clean install with the newest version available on windows XP service pack 1.

No luck in reproducing this on SQL Developer v1.0.0.14.67, Win XP SP 2, DB 9.2.0.5.
If my connected user has privs to create tables, I get Create Table, Apply Filter, Refresh, Clear Filter (disabled unless I have a filter) and Help.
If my connected user doesn't have privs to create tables, I get Create Table (disabled), Apply Filter, Refresh, Clear Filter (disabled unless I have a filter) and Help.
Even looking at the tables node under a user in the Other Users area I get Apply Filter, Refresh, Clear Filter (disabled unless I have a filter) and Help.

CAN NOT write text on some webpages like googlemail if use right mouse click, last copied text gets pasted in against my will Macbook pro: OSX 10.6.8 Firefox,

I would like to use right mouse click for spelling translate but when I click it pastes the last copied text in instead of opening the menu it happens on many webpages.
thanks for help
Elkan

still having same problems.
is this the only way to get support from firefox? where are the developers that write the code? or someone directly responsible for the product? i don't expect an end user to help but this is ridiculous. the windows version works fine but the mac version doesn't. i'm running both on the same machine so it's not the hardware (running windows as a virtual guest in parallels).

HT201361 After taking the screenshot clicking on my trackpad just acting like right mouse click or 2 finger click. Could you help!

After taking a screenshot command + Shift + 4, clicking on my trackpad is like right mouse click or 2 finger click. Please help!

Maybe your trackpad battery is running low? If not I would suggest just restarting your Mac. Post again if those things don't fix your problem and some more involved problem-solving can be attempted.
