    So i take it that the multitouch functions dont worget on windows and only on the OSX , but why is it that there is no tap option instead of click for the macbook touchpad while running windows ?

    the touchpad is a tad rough to click on for regular everyday use/ gaming.
    regular windows machine have it working for their touchpad but macbook doesnt ? did i do something wrong ? anywhere i can change that taping on touchpad will function as a click ?

    thanks

    There is a tap to click option in the trackpad tab of the Boot Camp control panel.

    If you have something to add, edit your previous post, don't make a new one.

    yeah... that is one of the most useful additions they put on after 2 finger scroll. i use that all the time for moving windows, dragging and dropping files... resizing windows... etc... anywhere you'd click and drag, just drag 3 fingers and it does the same thing. I love it.

    I play plenty... just don't use Windows for it. One of the reasons I started Wineskin in the first place. But I have just as much fun with a game even if its running half the res and lower graphics settings, but thats not usually needed.

    graphics are not needed, but gameplay, history and replayability. I play on a HD3000, so yeah I know that little ounce of performance matters
