"Tablet PC Settings" does not show up in control panel.

Hi All,

Everything is working fine on my new tablet pc, except the pen needs
calibrated, it's off by about 1/8". So I go to the control panel and guess
what... there is no "Tablet PC Settings" to be found so that I can calibrate.
I am running Vista Ultimate. TIA.

 

What model?

 

I assume you mean computer? I have a Gateway C140X.

Thanks,
Tom

 

Even on my desktop (which has no digitizer) I have a Tablet PC Settings
control panel applet. Mine is under Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound ->
Tablet PC Settings (all the way at the bottom).

For that series, check to make sure you've downloaded and run the
M280ScreenReg.exe "driver" that Gateway lists on their site. I believe you
have a Finepoint digitizer (My CX2724 did) and that utility is required to
get the digitizer's linearity data within the acceptable range that the
calibration utility can work with.

 

Hi Josh,

On my machine there is no "Tablet PC Settings" under Hardware and Sound.
But I do see "Pen and Input Devices" and you can get there under classic view
as well. But there is no calibration setting.

Also, I went to gateway and searched for a M280ScreenReg.exe driver and got
zero hits. I am currently looking for a digitizer driver to match my system.
No joy so far.

 

Can you run tabcal.exe from the start menu?

In Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows Features On or Off, is the
Tablet PC Optional Components feature checked? Try removing it, rebooting,
then re-adding it.

It looks like you don't need any drivers, you may have a Wacom digitizer.
But see if the above suggestions work.
