Are you running XP through Parallels or using Bootcamp?

If using Parallels, Parallels Desktop>Preferences>Keyboard>Mouse Right Click and then check only the box or boxes that you wish to press in conjunction with the click to create a "right click" in XP.

Don't know how to do it in bootcamp. As a new Mac user I find it bloody annoying that apple don't provide two mouse buttons. It's one of the few areas where Window boxes have a superior design function in my opinion!

Put 2 fingers on the mousepad, in different places, then click. Tada... right click.

Incidentily, windows boxes do not have a "superior feature". Right click with a 1-button mouse simply involves holding CTRL whilst clicking. Apple also sell 2 button mice, but any USB mouse will do.

Come to think of it, I can't think of anything superior about Windows.
