Lately when I am writing on my "writing pad." Like right now -my handwriting
has started looking like calligraphy. going from thin lines to thick lines.
The recognition is still great - but I am concerned that Something might be
wrong with the tablet Screen digitizer.. Maybe I made a change that I am
unaware of ??

Perhaps you've accidently invoked the ability for the tablet to recognize,
and act on, pen pressure?

That is probably What happened. Where do I change that setting? I don't see
it.

You've got me... it all depends on your tablet. I know that it's something
you can do in Microsoft OneNote... but beyond that, I have no idea. Maybe a
search on your tablet's company website?

Would help to know what software (all software?) this is happening with.

Many programs have "pen tip" options which are shown as an angled line
which leaves a different width line depending on the direction the line
is dragged, so, would assume that this is a software setting rather than
system setting.

The program would be Windows Mail. It's the handwriting recognition [on
the writing pad] It looks like calligraphy as I am writing it but as it
turns to text - there is nothing unusual. It is just sort of annoying and
it has me concerned that there is something wrong with the screen.

Maybe you selected a different pen? If you write with the
"highlighter" tip, you get a very different output from the normal
tip.

I have fine Point Selected in the tab tip settings. I can't be Sure, but is
it possible that when I added Ink Desktop it changed a driver? Whether or
hot ink desktop is running I still get the calligraphy look on the Tablet PC
writing panel. As I was saying before, the calligraphy doesn't change the
type when I click "insert" it's just weird to look at on the panel / pad.

While the Writing Pad is open click on Tools, then Options then click the
Writing Pad Tab and change your Pen

Does the "ink desktop" work properly on your machine?

Om my HP tc1100 it's hardly usable.
It covers a big area and is covering space where icons are sitting on my
desktop.
As I did not find a way to reduce the size I could not work with it and
uninstalled it.

It's too sad :-(
Under XP the ink desktop was one of the most used features.

From what I remember, it works fine .. I will test it again and if I am
wrong, let you know HERE ..
The only thing I have real problems with is the Sudoku game. It works fine
unless I am using the
pencil / eraser .. Most of the time it stops erasing and hangs --- other
times it shuts the program
down -- NEVER can I erase more than one box of numbers.

Would be nice to hear how it behaves on your machine.

As I hardly ever play any games, I do not know Sudoku.
And AFAICS your system is different from mine as you are having a
Digitizer + TouchSreen functionality.
