    Hi all

    I found that Secondary tap doesn't work after restarting in Bootcamp mode.

    On restart if checked in Touchpad setup but doesn't work until on -off manually (checked on-off) What can it be?

    Wait, let me rephrase that. I have no problem with the tap in OS X at all, but for some reason it doesn't like to work with me in XP.

    The drivers for the trackpad in XP aren't the best ones, this is a known fact.

    I have to struggle with it when I use my trackpad.

    Sorry mate, until Apple comes up with newer (better) trackpad drivers, you'd be better off just using a mouse.

    there was an update not too long ago to fix that.. it fixed mine in vista.. but the trackpad was still overly sensitive.
