The button located on the side of my stylus pen has no effect in performing
the right-click feature. I double checked my settings on the pen settings of
the control panel, and the box is checked that enables this feature. I
thought I had the updated driver from the Averatec website, but I can't think
of what else is causing this. The pen does perform the right-click action if
I press the pen against the screen and linger on one object. A little mouse
icon with the right clicker marked in red appears, and I can see the drop
down menu by moving the pen away from the screen for a second.

Which pen drivers do you use? Are they the Wacom drivers? I see nine
posted updates on the Averatec site
(http://www.averatec.com/customercare/3500dl.htm) which seem to be for other
purposes, including November updates to the video card and Tablet digitizer.

Did your machine come with XP SP2 and the Tablet PC Edition 2005 installed?
If not, and you added the update later, I would suggest downloading the
available component updates and reinstalling them.

I reinstalled the updates which I thought would update the pen's features,
but I am still experiencing the same problem. The machine came with XP
Tablet, and I installed SP2 last week, although I still experienced this
issue with SP1.

Have you contacted Averatec support? I'm really not familiar with the
system, so I don't know if there is a possibility of multiple settings for
the pen buttons. Do you have Pen and Tablet Settings in Control Panel, plus
possibly Averatec settings off the All Programs listing?

The other thought, does your Averatec come with a program like Sensiva's
Symbol Commander? There are some settings in the program which will negate
the button use in favor of using that program's alternatives.

Perhaps a silly question, but is your pen button enabled? Control Panel >
Tablet and Pen Settings > Pen Options > use pen button to right click.
