Touchpad click problems in windows xp

Hello, i am using macbook 2.4ghz with osx 10.5
i installed windows xp sp2 with the bootcamp
and now updated it to sp3 from official windows update site,
every thing else is working perfectly, except for the following problems which are with the trackpad :
1. i cant click on the trackpad. Although, the mouse pointer is controlled by it, also, it is responding to the double touch scroll properly, but no click on the trackpad, i searched a lot for it, and it seemed to me that there is no option for this on my macbook.
2. right click, its also related to the first problem, actually if you can guide me to the clicking on the touchpad, how can i bring feature of 2 finger right click as we have in osx on xp?
also, will there be same problem with other versions of windows, like vista and windows 7?
it really affects me a lot! keenly waiting for the response!

You are right. At present, there is NO option to perform a click by simply tapping on the trackpad. You have to use the trackpad button to perform a click.
2. right click, its also related to the first problem, actually if you can guide me to the clicking on the touchpad, how can i bring feature of 2 finger right click as we have in osx on xp?
The only way you can perform a right click is to place two fingers on the trackpad and then click on the trackpad button.
Until Apple releases the appropriate drivers and considers this as an issue, the above will remain as is for all early macbook and macbook pro models (2006 - early 2008).

  • Two finger scrolling does not work on Synaptics touchpad + clicking problems in web browsers

    Hello,  Since yesterday, i have problems with my synaptics touchpad on my HP Elitebook 8570w.The two finger scrolling and scrolling at the edge of the pad does not work.Also in google Chrome, all the links open in a new tab and when i try to click the new tab, it closes (normally that is the action when i click it with the middle touchpad button) Even in the practice mode of the synaptics settings of the touchpad, the two finger scrolling and edge scrolling does not work. Both options are enabled in the settings. I already tried to roll back the driver and reinstall the driver, without any effect.I expect the problem is the touchpad or the buttons itself. Is there a way to test the buttons and touch pad? How can i solve this problem?  please help me  sincerely, Karel 

    I would try installing the Windows 8.1 (64-bit)  Synaptics touchpad driver available in your sleekbook's web support download section before using compatibility mode.  Try the available earlier versions if the current driver does not work for you. 
    If you still do not have positive results, then use compatibility mode (choose Windows 8) on all three Windows 8.1 synaptics touchpad drivers, starting with the most current one.
    To use compatibility mode to install the driver softpaq just right click on the file and choose troubleshoot compatibility. Choose Windows 8 and run the installer.
    The following video has a decent explanation, but the narrator does not get to the point for a bit. Skip forward to minute 4  and watch it from there.

  • E531 Touchpad click problem, 1 click is registered as 2 clicks

    I'm using the track point for navigation and the touchpad for the mouse click functions, I notice that when I click the touch pad once the laptop registers 2 clicks, this is especially noticeable when using hotmail, i.e. you delete 1 email from the inbox and the next one is also deleted as well. It is as if the de-bounce on the track pad isn't working that well, any ideas what causes this and is there a setting I can adjust to increase the de-bounce period?
    Thanks

  • Macbook pro touchpad/curser problems.

    macbook pro touchpad curser problems.  typing randomly jumps to wherever the curser is resting at the time.  unbelievably maddening.  multiple devices same all have same problem.  hard to believe we cannot find anything on the apple site about this.  MANY complaints outside of this site on this issue... clearly a touchpad/battery design flaw being ignored by Cupertino.  during the writing of this post, the curser jumped randomly and started typing in a different location six times.  IMPOSSIBLE to use as a word processor since typing becomes quite frustrating.  HELP.  any ideas?  Fanboy and shareholder.  three macbook pros in the house...all the same problem. (please do not offer separate keyboard as solution...this is a laptop, not a Surface Pro...)

    Go step by step and test.
    1. Restart
    2. Shut down the computer.
        Clean the trackpad with moist not wet microfiber cloth.
        System Preferences > Point & Click
        Try turning off three finger dragging and then turning it on after  testing.
    3. Is there any Bluetooth device nearby with failing batteries? If so, replace the batteries.
      4. Reset PRAM:   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
    5. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit)

    First of all my windows is not genuine, but on my friend's desktop oracle download and installation  worked fine, he chose "create and configure database" options, and it works very well on his desktop, though his windows is also illegitimate. In my case, when I select "Create and configure database" option and pressed 'next",
    (Go to my blog to see it with snapshots: Computer Science: Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit))
    it asks to select class, I select "Desktop class" and pressed "next". The moment I pressed "next", the whole setup thing disappeared like it was never started. I searched for all possible reasons for why its not getting installed on my laptop, I used registry cleaner s/w,  deleted 25 GB of data to create free space if it were the problem, increased the virtual memory to increase the space for RAM, I did almost everything to get this setup working, but I found no success with the "Create and Configure database" option
    and
    then
    I chose a "database software only" option and chose to store in a folder w/o spaces. This way, I got database s/w only and then later I found "Database configuration Assistant (DBCA)"  from windows START button and clicked to create and configure database manually. The steps are pretty much interactive and doesn't involve much brainstorming.
    The values I filled for
    1) Global Database Name :  orcl
    2) System Identifier : orcl
    3) I chose common password for both SYS and SYSTEM
    4) while on Enterprise Manager Configuration step, It asked me to create and configure listener in oracle home, so for that too, I typed "netca" in windows START menu and clicked it. There I added a listener.
    5) I chose a Storage area which was the Oracle-home itself i.e. where our installation files goes , in my case it is : C:\oracle_base\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oradata
    6) Then after few more nitty-gritty clicks, we are set to go !
    Finally to write SQL code and to create your first TABLE , type "sqlplus" in windows "START" menu and click it when it appears. A command-prompt like window appears , which will ask you for username and password, so here they are :
    Username : sys/ as sysdba
    Password : (its the one you created in step 3 stated above )
    After this you are ready to write your first SQL command.

    Is this your solution to your original post at Oracle database 11g release 2 installation on windows 7 (64-bit) ?
    Pl be aware that you should not create any custom objects in SYS or SYSTEM schema - you should create any such objects in a separate custom schema.

  • I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

    When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
    I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

    You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Has anybody had the following error while trying to download iTunes 10.5? There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

    Has anybody had the following error while trying to download iTunes 10.5? There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

    Go to "control panel" then "add or remove programs".  Highlight "Apple software update"  Choose "change" click "Repair"  This should do the trick.  Then download and install iTunes 10.5 again.

  • Tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help

    I tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help

    Firstly, are you installing iTunes for the first time or are you updating your current version of iTunes?
    If you're installing iTunes for the first time have you tried redownloading the installer package? Perhaps the file you downloaded originally is corrupted...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you've tried that, then try installing iTunes as your computer's administrator. To do this right-click the install package and choose "Run as administrator".
    If you're updating iTunes to the most recent version try repairing the Apple Software Update program on your computer. It's under the add/remove programs.
    1. Open the control panel
    2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
    3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
    4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
    Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
    Fingers crossed!

  • Problem with window repaint and scrollbars in edit mode (LabVIEW 8.0.1)

    I am running LabVIEW 8.0.1 in Windows XP SP3.  For my main VI, I ran into a strange problem about 5 months ago.  The front panel window - in both edit mode and run mode - stopped repainting itself on the right side which is most visible when you scroll up and down, but also visible with overlapping windows.  Coincident with the repaint problem, both scrollbars look disabled with greyed-out arrows and no boxes in the bars that you can click and drag to scroll the window.  The scrollbars still partially work if you hover the mouse over them and roll the mouse wheel but clicking and dragging doesn't work. 
    The front panel has lots of controls and indicators including tab-control containers and is larger in the horizontal and vertical directions so both scrollbars should be active.  But I deleted all elements on the front panel and everything in the block diagram and the problem persists.  So the problem is not directly related to some control/indicator display.
    I saved the simple VI with this problem (using a wide text line and a tall rounded box to test), then created a new VI and copied the two elements to the new VI.  This new VI does not have the repaint and scrollbar problem.  The two VIs differ slightly in memory usage and in revision number (the bad one is revision 1785 and the good one is revision 3), but otherwise the two VIs are identical.  I attached both VIs to this posting.  When you first open the bad VI, you'll see the disabled scrollbars whereas the good VI has active scrollbars.  To replicate the repaint problem, scroll the window up and down with your mouse wheel.  If it's fine when you first open the VI, click on another window, then click back on the VI window and try the mouse wheel again.  This clicking-away-and-back always causes the repaint problem for me.  I tried the VIs on two different computers both running Windows XP SP3 and LabVIEW 8.0.1 with identical results.
    Here's what I discovered from troubleshooting with the simple VIs:
    * scrollbars always disabled
    * repaint problem in main window for window widths larger then 680 pixels
    * repaint problem in main window menu toolbar for widths larger than 646 pixels
    * entire window becomes disabled for window widths larger than 1348 pixels
    * can repaint window by minimizing and restoring, but only repaints that one time
    * scrollbar boxes sometimes flicker into view but then disappear
    * scroll left and right by hovering mouse over horizontal scrollbar and using mouse wheel
    I found something similar on this forum (thread: Problem with front panel refresh) - it might be related to the CAR about the panel being offset internally.  I don't have access to LabVIEW 8.5 or later and don't plan to upgrade - I haven't tried the trial version as that user did.  I could try to copy and paste my entire block diagram to a new VI but the VI is so large I'm afraid something would break, plus I don't want this to happen again in a few months.  The problem seemed to occur after a certain number of saves (or revision number).  I save backup copies often and when the problem first happened, I was able to go back to a previous version, make the missing changes and save it with no problems, but this only delayed the problem and it came up later.  So maybe it's the revision number.  It didn't seem related to a particular addition or modification in the front panel or diagram.
    The image attached shows the repaint and scrollbar problems in the bad VI.
    This brings up a question I have - if this problem is a bug and was fixed in 8.5 and later, is there a way to apply bug fixes to earlier versions?  Or do I have to pay for an upgrade to fix such bugs?
    Solved!

    I myself have a 27" i5 mid 2010 model but a friend of mine recently got a 27'' i7 he wanted to instal windows 7 because he also uses other software aswell
    Specs of his iMac 27'' :
    Thunderbolt
    HD Facetime Camera
    4gig of memory
    2gig videocard
    1T HDD
    OsX 10.7 Lion completly updated
    Oke here is my and his story/problem:
    I start bootcamp download the software i need too install bootcamp on windows 7 Ultimate.
    After that i create a partition 200 gig for windows 7 Ultimate. i click on the button to start the install.
    After the restart i press enter and the windows setup starts after some clicks i format the bootcamp partition as explained by apple in there support.
    I click on install windows start to install after the first boot it wil compleet the install normally this wil install the drivers and you get normal resolution ect,
    this doesn't happend. It keeps the big chunky resolution. so that tells me that the drivers aren't installed.
    After windows compleets the installation it restarts does a video test, and brings us to the screen where you need to fill in your name and password then windows asked a few things and the world time ect, and when you click on done or compleet. Normally you will get something like this (Please wait a moment windows is preparing your desktop) instead of that the mac restarts, (but the windows dvd is still in the superdrive because you cant get it out) it asked me if i want to press a button to instal windows no i wont, so i wait it counts down so it wil start up windows. now here is the problem it doesnt startup to windows it hangs and does nothing.
    I my self have a mid 2010 27'' i5 model and had a blank screen everytime i tryed to instal windows 7 ultimate, i learned that there was a download available where you can create a MBRFAT USB stick where you copy a .xml file and a driver map so windows got the right drivers for my model so it would install succefully,here a link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173 where i found it.
    Is there something like this available for the
    iMac 27'' model mid 2011
    with a 2gig videocard
    Thunderbolt
    HD facetime camera
    4gig memory
    10.7 Lion
    Any help or links would be nice

    Oke we are still fighting with this after finished installing windows 7 hangs problem!
    My question now is can this problem as mentiond above be caused by plugged in USB devices he also uses a world of warcraft mouse and a logitech keyboard G19 version that can be used with world of warcraft.
    He also he got a Sitecom powered USB hub 10 port, and uses 2 WD elements external USB HDD 2Terra connected to the hub that uses 1 port on the mac the other 2 on the mac are the keyboard and mouse that he uses for world of warecraft and there is 1 left on the mac that he uses for his iphone or usb stick.
    We are also looking for the new drivers for the i7 mid/late 2011 models so that have a AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 2 GB GDDR5 installed so windows can be installed correctly?
    Thanks for any help on this matter..
