Smart zoom,3 fingers to lookup up and auto-correction not working when upgraded to Lion

Hello,


As many of us did, I upgraded to Lion yesterday.


Here are some issues I am facing I can't - though I tried all I could - figure out how to resolve them.


Trackpad's "Double-tap with three fingers to look up" & "Double-tip with two fingers to Smart Zoom" features are not working.


I have uninstalled MagicPrefs, MagicMenu and everything else I could think of, still I can't make this work.


Auto-corrections is not working


The new auto-correction feature is not working for me no matter what I did to make it work.

I did re-set the settings, toyed with the text prefs and more to no avail.


I would really appreciate any ideas on what I could do to fix those annoying issues.


Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

For me, it's four finger gestures. They work erratically, if at all, and that's after trying every variation imaginable of finger shoices, speed, location on trackpad, spread of fingers, etc.


I would think that it has to be an actual physical issue related to the trackpad surface.


I wonder if heat is related -- it's hot as **** in my office.


Cheers,


Otto

The most disappointing thing so for is that the track pad doesn't work. I am not sure why, but for me it stopped working after I downloaded three immediate upgrades, for iTunes, iWork Update 6, and Remote Desktop Client. After that, the magic track pad's functionality ceased, except for scrolling up and down. It is dangerous to turn on Dashboard from the dock, because then you are frozen there, as far as I can tell, and can only get out of it via a hard shut down. If Mail or Safari are expanded to full screen, you have to use a pull down menu to escape.
