    Just installed vista with bootcamp. The trackpad seems real touchy and the pointer isnt accurate. Any solution for this?

    No, I don't have that issue, but I'm using XP Pro and Boot Camp Beta v1.4. Did you check the Control Panel for Mouse Pointer Speed or Sensitivity settings or something? What version of Boot Camp are you running?

    there's an option in xp that you can select under movement speed settings to enhance the accuracy, not sure in vista.

    Yeah i tried messing with all the settings in controls. Slowing it down helps but the problem is still there. Im using bootcamp 1.4 and vista ultimate. Odd no one else has experienced it
