To perform a right-click action, hold the right Command key while tapping the trackpad button.

I've never used a mac before with OSX. Just got a MacBook pro to mess about with. Going to install Leopard on monday when i get my copy.

Must say i love this machine feels so much better than any laptop i have used.

It tells you that in the system preferences.. :confused:

"Use two fingers on the trackpad to scroll"

Although you have to enable secondary clicking.

But i dont have a OSX on this MBP pro yet, i do have OSX Tiger disk but it wont install for some reason but i think its because it has a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 Chip in it :confused:

. So will have to insatll panther when i get it.

You installed Windows without booting in to OS X?

I didn't realise it could be done

[If I recall correctly]

Put the Tiger DVD into the machine, and shut down Windows. Power on the Mac, and hold down C. This should force it to boot from the CD.

edit - or is that not the problem with the install?

I think it's been installed via Bootcamp, then the OS X partition has been deleted so it runs Windows natively.

Iirc, he bought it with just Windows on it.
