Hey all,

OK, I just bought and installed Object Desktop, with Window Blinds etc on my
Toshiba M200. Everything's great...well almost.

After the install I my Tosh's pen buttons and the toshiba tablet buttons
don't work. For example the screen rotate button still works as an escape
key, but holding it down doesn't re-orient the screen anymore.

The pen buttons as well dont respond at all.

Anyone else come across this, and come across a solution to it?

Hmmm. Sounds like the program "broke" your buttons. 8-) Have you gone to
the Start Menu/All Programs/Toshiba/Tablet PC and tried changing or setting
the Rotation Utility? You can also access the setup in Control Panel/Tablet
and Pen Settings.

Are you running XP SP2 and the Tablet PC Edition 2005? If so, have you
tried updating all the drivers from Toshiba's web site which are designated
as XP SP2-specific? They started releasing them after XP SP2 was finalized.
Even if you have, you might try reinstalling them, as it seems the recent
install changed things.

If nothing else, you may try using a Restore Point from before installing
the program to see if that brings everything back.

You know what Chris - Following your advice I got all smart-ass like and
said to a colleague "bloody MVP types - 'reinstall all the drivers - great
advice'".

I did it anyway since by and large you're pretty god like. It now works, I'm
a schmuck. :)

Cheers dude

Pete

Been there and even gotten the T-shirt, Pete. Make sure you just as loudly
proclaim the MVPs actually do get things right. 8-)
