From: mam on 23 Mar 2006 08:20 When I right click on My PC it says: Windows Xp Tablet PC 2005 edition sp2 under both Operating systems How can I found what pen drivers I am using? I have taken a look to device manager and it seems that both OS have the same drivers. I dont know if the drivers are under a)Human Interface devices or b)Mice and other pointing devices. But, repeat, both have the same devices What a would like to know is what drivers load the OS in order the touch screen works properly? I ran HijaackThis on both OS trying to find differences in registry Keys or proccesses running, but I am not able to see wich are the Processes/Registry keys associated with the Pen (Touch screen). I have performed several searches under the words: touch, pen, keyboard but i dont find anything. Another symptom that perhaps can help is that the Tablet PC Input Panel doesn´t work properly: The manual input panel doesn´t work, nor the Options, nor the Help -- Life is worthwhile living "Chris H." wrote: > Okay, if you're running two partitions, and the one doesn't have the Tablet > Input Panel, who did you do that installation?

The Acer C300 is Electro Magnetic Resonance (EMR), not touch, which means you're most likely running the Wacom drivers. The latest is here: http://www.wacom.com/tabletpc/driver.cfm . It should be shown under the HID section in Device Manager, probably as Wacom Penabled HID MiniDriver. For items launching at startup, you can go to Start/Run and put in "msconfig" then tap the OK button to launch the System Configuration Utility. On the Startup tab, I believe you should have at least tapbutt, tabtip and tablet s launching. The Services tab should also show you a listing for TabletService (Wacom Technology). -- Chris H.
