I just ordered a stylus/pen online and i was wondering how i can get it to work for my new Toshiba Portege. Do i have to add it in some program or what does it take just to get the **** thing to work...

If you ordered the wrong type for your machine, I'd get your money back.
However, most of the Tablet pens work on any other Tablet - unless there is
a specific requirement (like battery power).

Hi,
The stylus that you ordered must support the Wacom digitizer that the
Toshiba uses. If it is a stylus that is for a analog digitizer like a
Pocket PC then it will not work. This is because the Wacom digitizers
require a special coil in the stylus to allow it to identify where the
stylus is relative to the screen.
