It acts as though the But does it actually write ink if you are not
pressing the point of the pen to the screen? .. Mine is doing this
... SPORADICALLY!

I realize it is magnetic. Hence the problem. It is not just
reading from the pen when away from the screen, but acts as if it were
touching the screen .. SOMETIMES.

I just re-installed the windows from the system restore CDs provided
by compaq. The problem is still happening .. sporadically.

Thanks for your thoughts..
