Did they supply their Acer CD of Windows XP TAblet PC edition?

No. You need all the driver/pen/ink extensions in the Tablet PC edition
for the extra hardware to work.

no, I didn't get the CD with system...
arent there some driver just for that purpose I can download? (acer does not
have it for downloading)

There are two places where the specific Windows XP Pro and Tablet PC Edition
are available: (1) with an OEM Tablet PC and (2) via a subscription to MSDN
for development purposes only.

You cannot just "add" portions to make the Tablet PC function properly. If
you didn't get the appropriate OEM CD with the Tablet, I would suggest you
contact whoever it was you obtained the Tablet from for the full properties.

You may be able to contact ACER to get a replacement cd set sent to you.
Might have to pay a nominal fee but that's probably the only way you'll be
able to get everything up and running without a MSDN subscription.
