Mine is usually hidden over on the left.
Perhaps you should have a shortcut for osk always at hand? JIC? <eg>

I actually have an external tool button on the face of the slate which I
have been imagining could be put to better use than an HP tutorial.

BTW I'm using my tablet as a dark slate with attached monitor and wireless
mouse and keyboard so I can't check on any other ideas ATM. ; )

I pressed it anyway. In fact it opens the Windows Mobility Center.
Unfortunately there is nothing about the TIP there but there is a Help
button on it at the bottom. That takes me directly to the Help article for
Using Windows Mobility Center. Now your trick will be figuring out how to
get to the help page for the TIP. It seems necessary to be able to type
Input first... Then there is an article titled "Solutions to Common
Problems with Tablet PC Input Panel" and in there there's a link labeled
"Tap to open Tablet PC Input Panel".

And here's a method which requires no typing at all (assuming you can get to
a Help window)
1. tap the book icon (Browse Help).
2. tap Using a Tablet PC
3. tap Tablet PC Input Panel
4. tap Opening and moving Tablet PC Input Panel
5. tap Open Input Panel
6. scroll down to a green arrow labeled...
7. Tap to Open Tablet PC Input Panel

Oops. It looks as if that might be some customization done by HP with that
button. I.e. it appears essential to have started from the Help page for
the Windows Mobility Center. Otherwise just opening Help with Win-F1 and
clicking the book icon leads to an entirely different trail which doesn't
highlight the Tablet PC Input Panel at all...

Ah. All that is required in that case is to:
0. tap Laptops
That puts you into the page for the 7 step path given above.

Hopefully there is a more direct route or procedure?


Good luck

Robert

Hi,
Stop errors can be caused by just about anything, including poor
quality audio drivers, incompatible video drivers, bad or corrupt
hard disks, and faulty hardware such as bad RAM, dying
motherboards, failing power supplies, etc.Such kind of
error is of two type hard disk failure or ram failure i think you won't
repair it by setting up windows xp because appearing blue screen is
very dangerous problem
that is.. hard ware problem.

I apologize in advance if I didn't understand your question ... To get the
icon back for the tablet input, right click on your task bar and chose
Toolbar, then Tablet input panel.

I was worried that my mechanic might try to rip me off. But I
was relieved when he told me all I needed was turn signal fluid.

OMG. That is certainly "more direct". Thanks. ; )
