Bootcamp and right click, etc.

Hello all, I have a Macbook Pro that I was supplied with at work. I am allowed to do whatever I want with it and just got done putting Win7 on it through Bootcamp. I looked at the differences between Parallel and Bootcamp and decided that Bootcamp would be the better choice for me as I'll primarily be using windows on this and will rarely have to use the Apple OS. I'm very new to all of this and wouldn't mind some advice in what I need to do to get right click working as well as the keyboard backlighting etc. Any general knowledge that any of you are willing to supply would be very much appreciated.

On a side note I have no ill will towards OSX, I am just accustomed to Windows and have had some formatting issues in Word when printing.

Here are the specs:
Mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro
OSX 10.6.8
2.4ghz Intel Core2 Duo
4GB Ram
80GB HDD space (allotted for Win)
 
did you install the apple drivers? they should have been downloaded from the web when you went to do the bootcamp partitioning stuff.

It kept saying that it couldn't download them. I've got Win 7 installed now and fully updated, seems to be working minus some things like right click.
 
I hit an issue, I downloaded that file, decompressed it and tried to run it. It's saying that Boot Camp x64 is not supported on this computer model. I've got Win 7 Pro 64bit installed.

Thanks man! I ended up doing a search for win 7 32 bit and downloaded and installed BootCamp4.0.4033. It says that the blutooth isn't working but that isn't a concern for me. I have a backlit keybaord and right mouse button!

I'm glad it worked.
 
I noticed you're relatively new to Mac, so I wanted to offer some other suggestions.


If you already have it bootcamped, and at any point you wanna start to play with Mac OsX, you can install VMWare fusion on it, and import your BootCamp partition as a VM.

That way, you can access the Windows partition from within OSx..


Just a little tidbit for ya.
