Windows7/BootCamp/MBPro(2011) - Cannot activate tap function

Mar 17, 2011 12:10PM PDT

When running Win7 on BootCamp, tap function on touchpad does not work. Is there a special driver i need to get the tap to work or is this just one function that doesn't work in BootCamp?

Pretty sure

Pretty sure there are some functions that simply won't work on Windows, so if the drivers supplied by Apple with Boot Camp aren't doing it, then it's probably a pretty safe bet to assume that feature isn't going to be available in Windows.

Thanks Jimmy. I suspect you're right, but I hope you're not?

Anyone out there been able to remedy or find a workaround. It's very disruptive to workflow when you're used to the tap function being there.

It's in the BootCamp settings, not the mouse/trackpad settings.
