Installed Lion and windows 7 in a bootcamp partition. While in bootcamp/windows 7 none of the trackpad gestures work. No dragging right click double click etc....
The only thing I can do is push the pad down for a single click.
Anyone have similar problems??
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
After you install the Boot Camp drivers into Windows, you will get two finger tap for right-click and I think scrolling. You won't get all the gestures like in OSX.
I just did a fresh install of Lion and setup win 7 ultimate in bootcamp. The track pad had basic functionality, the tap worked, two tap for right click, and two finger scroll. After updating to service pack 1 for windows, the trackpad only now works for mouse movements!! Something broke it the update and I have to figure out how to get the functionality back. Perhaps i'll try to reinstall bootcamp.....

SP1 "broke" a lot of other things, although I've not heard of it breaking Apple's trackpad drivers. Try reinstalling the Boot Camp Drivers again. Possibly clean reinstall of Windows, then immediately apply SP1, then install the Boot Camp Drivers. That is what I did when I installed Win7 on my MBP.
BTW, the wording of your post is a little confusing with the term "reinstalling bootcamp". I'm refering to installing the Boot Camp drivers, which is when you boot into Windows, then insert the disk that came with your computer to install the Apple supplied drivers for the Apple hardware.
I did a repair on the bootcamp drivers in programs and features and that did the trick. Sorry for any confusion with the term 'reinstalling Bootcamp'.
Thanks a lot !!
That worked for me. Thank you!
That worked for me also, thank you!!
There us also a option to enable track pad right click and scrolling etc.
go to start menu and then search for bootcamp and then open bootcamp and then somewhere there is an option for the trackpad :D I did this when I installed windows on my Mac and my trackpad scrolling and right click worked :)
Thanks this works perfectly for me and is just what I was looking for!!
Brilliant - helped me enable one tap click (save the trackpad!)
You can fix the trackpad and add the rich multitouch gestures with Trackpad++, see A NEW TRACKPAD DRIVER IS OUT (this thread is a bit outdated, but the driver development never stopped, e.g. force touch now supported, Windows 10 supported, etc.)
Trackpad in boot camp.
