Windows on a Mac
« on: August 07, 2013, 04:05:28 AM »
Hi Guys,

Let's skip the lecture why one should not install windows on a mac.

The advantages are very welcome  ::)

Question: Does anyone have any idea how to get right-click to work on a trackpad like in on a non-mac laptop ?

Are you trying to change that behavior when booted into Mac or PC?

I dont think so the whole mouse is one buttom. You can buy a wireless logitech mouse that has both buttons.

Yes. Apples laptop trackpad is basically one button from what I understand so so I dont think a program will work.

Bring a small travel mouse along with you then.
