Hi,

I have a problem that has been driving me crazy for the past few hours, so i thought I would ask for some help on the infamous macrumours forum.

I have a mbp 13' (2009 model) running leopard, and I wanted a CLEAN upgrade to Snow Leopard. I bought the disk, googled how to do a clean install of SL, but when i get to the MAC OSX installer page my mouse pad wont allow me to access the utilities tab in the menu bar. I can navigate my mouse to it, but it won't allow me to select it (or any of the other tabs: file, edit, windows). I dont know what keyboard shortcuts for the mac as im a new user.

The way my mousepad is configured is that to select something i just have to touch tap it, not press the mousepad in. I dont know if that has anything to do with it, but just giving a bit more info on my situation.

Any help would be really appreciated here, as im at my wits end trying to access it
