Double-Tap & Hold

I have just installed a new Trackpad for my Early 2008 iMac24, after using one at my office on my iMac there The problem I am experiencing is that the "doubletap & hold" gesture for dragging is not working. This is the MAIN reason I bought this Trackpad for the home Mac. I do a lot of Graphic work in Photoshop & Illustrator and the Magic Mouse was good, but the Trakcpad works so much better....but Not if I have to actually click & hold to drag. I am running the latest version of Lion and all updates have been installed. Any ideas???

(2) iMac24,, iPhone4, Macbook Pro 15, iPad

Go into your system preferences and click on TrackPad, then click the Point & Click tab and make sure the Three finger drag has a check in the check box, Click on the Scroll & Zoom tab and make sure the Smart Zoom it checked.

If you'd like the old doubletap and hold gesture, it's available in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > trackpad options... button. > check Dragging with or without Drag lock.
