    Hello. Both the buttons below my trackpad are now broken and only occasionally respond to clicks. Any idea how to fix this? My laptops out of warranty by now. Alternatively is it possible to do a right click using just the trackpad, like the way you can tap it to left click? Thanks.

    Have a look in 'Mouse' settings in the Control Panel. Some brands of touchpad allow you to reconfigure tap options.

    Thanks for the reply. I have it set up now so that the tapping the lower left corner of the trackpad acts as a right click and tapping anywhere else acts as the left click. It's pretty awkward but it works. Is it possible to use a two finger tap as right click like a mac? I think this would be much easier to do but can't see an option in the trackpad settings.
