You don't know how you installed XP on your Mac?

Using VM/Bootcamp/Parallels..?

Oh right, well when you boot up do you choose whether to boot into XP or OS X when holding down Option, or do you launch XP from within OS X?

I hold down the alt key and gives me a choice

That would be Bootcamp, seems the trackpad driver might be missing. Can I mail the driver to you as I have it here?

If I were you and it gave me any more trouble I'd go for a reinstall.

Would probably be easier, it seems that the driver CD that you make with Bootcamp hasn't been installed properly.

I had a look on the Apple site for the beta driver disc and I can't see them. Have they been taken down? I know the beta expired on Leopard's release but I didn't know they'd take down what was already there.
