[QUOTE="AMACL, post: 1858128, member: 298303"] Mike, I have never had that problem but then I have never had a MacBook Pro :) . But among the many helpful messages you have received, there is one that jumped out at me so I wanted to make sure you had seen it and tried the fix. It is #19 from @ferrar, directing you to a thread in the Apple user community support page that details just the "no windows" issue that is frustrating you. The solution is super simple : don't press the trackpad so hard and/or turn off (in Systems Preferences, the cog-and-wheel icon) the "force click" associated with the trackpad. Are you also having trouble with the Safari app (web browser) - the compass icon ? If so, you won't be able to browse the Net for all those Apple user goodies ... I have had, in addition to desktop iMacs, a succession of Apple laptops with trackpads, but have never experienced the problem you describe. So I imagine how frustrating it must be. But I agree with comments above that Apple products are much easier to use, as well as being more secure. And yes, I was a 25-year Windows user (had to, at the office) before buying my first Mac. Never looked back. Now I can hardly navigate a Windows PC. They, too, have become very complicated - you just have evolved along with them so you don't notice :). Good luck and let us know if you tried the "soft touch" fix. [/QUOTE]
