You need to hold down the 'alt' 'option' key to get the OS select screen, not the Apple key.

As for the 'rightclick' problem, why not just get a two-button mouse? WinXP and Apple will both automatically detect it. I use one all the time on my Mac in both the OSX and Windows systems.

Just to clarify, you did install Windows XP, right?

This may sound like a silly question, but you don't say you did this. You only say that you installed BootCamp. I've frequently seen people inquire as to why Windows applications don't run under BootCamp, not realizing that this application merely facilitates the installation of a Win XP partition on their computer, not that it, in and of itself, adds Win XP functionality to the Mac OS.

Just want to make sure...

Beyond this concern, the above post is on the money on all counts.

Your concerns have already been answered.

As previously mentioned, if you're using a multi-button mouse the ability is built-in to the OS. While you may want to install the drivers of whatever input device you're using (for example, I'm using a Logitech trackball, so I installed the drivers that Logitech provides on their web site), basic two-button functionality is part of both the Mac OS and the Windows OS.

And, as previously mentioned, holding down the Apple key will not allow access to the boot menu. It is the Option key that provides that function.
