[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1586249, member: 131855"] I'm not sure whether the Safari version would run properly or not. I doubt it though. I'll have to check on that when I have a moment. You noticed that clicking works correctly with the mouse (nice job I didn't think to suggest that). You may be right about there being some issue with the trackpad.You might want to give the following a try. If you like you can find the entire thread [URL="https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2522743?start=0&tstart=0"]here[/URL] The other thought which occurred to me may not apply to your Mac. We'd have to know which unibody it is to be sure. On some Mac laptops the battery runs directly under the trackpad assembly. If for some reason the battery is not fitting properly it may prevent the trackpad from moving enough to register the click. I had the problem you describe. Even though I checked to make sure the battery was seated properly nothing improved things. Shortly afterwards I noticed I was getting shorter than expected battery life. This time I inspected the battery more carefully and noticed it had started to swell. Replacing the battery fixed the trackpad issue. [/QUOTE]
