OK, I've been all over the place trying to find an answer to this and so far failed. I've found lots of people who seem so sure they have the answer, but none work for me. So how the hell do I get right click to work on a MacBook touchpad as it's a real pain in the bum not being able to access the right click menus in Windows?

1) 2 or 3 finger clicks do not work
2) Holding down ctrl and pressing the trackpad does not work
3) Bootcamp and all drivers installed in Windows 7
4) All windows updates done

Any ideas?

Oh, before you ask, I need Windows 7 for some specific business applications and business compatability and Bootcamp works lovely with a nice little front end menu that lets me select which OS I want before boot, lovely jubbly and much less fafff than virtual machines which I never see the point of for me as I either want OSX or Windows 7.
 
Oh and one further problem. In the Boot Camp control pannel I have no Tab for Trackpad only for keyboard.....odd.
 
Fixed!

Seems the drivers we not installed when I did the install, or if they were, SP1 for Windows ate them. I just re-installed the drivers, now I have the missing tab and my right click works!
 
All working like clockwork now, did a full re-run of the Boot Camp 4.0 drivers after all the Windows updates were completed and everything works, no yellow bangs in System etc.
 
OK a couple of additional issues...

1) It seems that my headphone jack is not working
2) One of the 2 Windows users seems to have a keyboard issue, ie the @ is where the " should be and vice versa, but only on 1 of the 2 users, very odd.

Ideas?
