    So i have loaded XP on my MBP. I used the leopard DVD to load all the drivers onto XP. Only problem i am having is the right click. In leopard i use both fingers and tap on the mouse pad to simulate right click. How do i do this in XP? I have tried everything. two fingers, ctrl click, option click, cmd click. nothing works. Also there is no option in control panel/mouse. Please advise.

    For me, two fingers on the touch pad and a click of the mouse button simulates a right click in XP for me. Though, with my wireless Kensington mouse I rarely use that method.

    It should.
    Hold on.

    EDIT:
    A quote from the Mac Switchers guide.
    Have you tried both of these?

    Ok two fingers click works. But i would think just a two finger tap should work as well. Am i mistaken?

    No, you're not mistaken :p. Two-finger tapping isn't supported in Boot Camp yet.
