calibration 180 off in portrait but fine in landscape

So youknow where it says "do not change orientation until you have completed
the pen calibration"? They really mean it. I got ahead of myself and changed
the screen orientation during a recalibration and So now I can't recalibrate
in portrait mode - the only way the tablet will accept a "pick" on the
cross-hair is if I'm on the opposite side of the screen, (lower left pick for
upper right crosshair). The curser operates the same way in portrait mode
-(to hit the windows start button inthe lower left I have to click the upper
right corner).
Any suggestions appreciated

Re: calibration 180 off in portrait but fine in landscape

Hi DaveC, check out my rather lengthy post at the link below which explains
where Windows stores its calibration info. If you can use the machine with a
keyboard and mouse you can actually "blow away" the calibration settings
from the registry and then re-run it.

Thanks for the post. I guess I'll have to regedit which i am wont to do.
I'll have to research registryedits again.
TEO rocks by the way.
