I am trying to do a right-mouse-click and drag on my new M205. Problem is, mouse draws a line, instead of performing the drag. Is there a way to shut off this tablet function? If I hold the CTRL-Key and do this, the right-mouse-click performs a left-mouse-click.

Any help would be appreciated...

The line drawing is a result of using the Sensiva Symbol Commander program.
You can right-click the icon in the Systray to turn it off. It isn't a
"Tablet" function, but an add-on from Toshiba. Personally, I have opened
the program and removed the check from launching it on startup, besides
running msconfig from Start/Run and removing the launch from the Startup
tab.

I don't reinstall the program when I rebuild my toshibas, either the
M200 or the 3500, since I've never really liked the program. But if
you find it useful (and many do) you can also leave it running, and
hold the control key when you right click, or use the pen buttons on
the edge of the screen to do a control lock.

Easiest way though is as Chris said - disable it from the system tray
when you don't want to use it.

I am glad to see I am not the only one who doesn' t like it.
And speaking about Toshiba while I hate the concept of the "Restore CD" at
least in my M200 DVD they added the otion to format only the partition where
the OS is and not the entire HD as it was before with the 3500.
