Thank you!! It works perfectly now!

hello,

I am having a similar issue. Just installed windows 8 on my mac, but i cannot select anything using the trackpad. I can move the mouse icon around fine, but cannot click on anything so I am forced to use a USB mouse. I tried the steps above, but I do not have any yellow icons under Human Interface Devices. I do however, have one under 'Other Device', specifically 'Coprocessor'. Any ideas on what I can do to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

There are no drivers for Windows 8 yet, you can try using the Windows 7 but they don't work for many people

I want to confirm that these instructions (by neil114) are for Windows 7? I have tried doing this on my iMac running Windows 8 using BC4. And I do not get resolution for my trackpad. It works - but no Win8 gestures.

Also Neil, you specify to "choose USB input device". My computer does not show this (as I suspect many people's won't) because the trackpad and magic mouse are bluetooth. I tried following the instructions using the alternatives available, but it didn't help.

If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear.

Thanks.

Wow,

that did it, istantaneously and easy.

You are my hero of the day!

Thank you so much

That was spectacular. Thanks for the great directions. Worked great!
