I cannot right-click on my Viewsonic tablet pc. I press and hold and nothing
happens.

"Enable press and hold for right-click" is checked.

What else can it be?

Thanks

-Stan

The "press and hold" is referring to holding the tip of the pen on the
surface of the screen, resulting in a little circle of reddish dots. When
you slightly pick up the pen from the surface (very minor distance) the
right-click menu will appear.

The pen button actions are controlled by settings in Control Panel/Tablet
and Pen Settings/Pen Options tab. You need to make sure in the Pen Buttons
area there is a check mark in "Use pen button to right-click."

No it does not work.

I also noticed that when I move the pen just above the surface of the
screen, the mouse pointer does not move.

Do I need to have a special pen?

Why, what are you currently using for a pen? You need either the pen
that came with the device, or a pen from a 3rd party like Cross, that is
compatible with TabletPC.

Are you using the pen which came with your Viewsonic? What current drivers
are you running? If you don't have the 4.82.9a Penabled driver from Wacom
(http://www.wacom.com/tabletpc/driver.cfm) installed I would suggest
downloading and installing it.

The pen must be kept within about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch from the surface of
the screen for the digital recognizers to pick up the positioning.

I use the pen that came with the pc (Viewsonic). It is a plasic pen that
sits in the pc's pocket.

I can click or double click with the pen but I cannot do right mouse click
(press and hold).
I have never used the TabletPc before, but according to what I have read,
when the pen moves just above the surface of the screen, the mouse pointer
should move as well. It does not happen. Maybe this is why my Press and Hold
does not work...

I checked Pen Settings/Pen Options tab a thousand times.

I use Windows XP Tablet Edition SP2.

I have no idea why such a basic function does not work. Is it a hardware /
screen problem? How can I test it?

Thanks,

-Stan

Stan, it is not a "click and hold" but a "press and hold" motion with the
tip of the pen on the surface of the screen and does not involve the button
or toggle on the pen at all. Holding the pen steady and not moving on the
surface for about three seconds should reveal the "sort of" red dots which
form a circle. When that happens, you pull the pen tip up perhaps a 1/4 of
an inch and the right-click menu will appear.

Which driver do you have installed for the pen? If you have not downloaded
and installed the 4.82.-9a Wacom Penabled driver, I would suggest doing
that.

If I were you, the first thing I'd do would be to contact support at
Viewsonic for assistance with this problem.

Chris,

There are no red dots no matter how long I keep the pen. I'll check the
driver...

Okay. Sometimes the drivers get messed up if you've upgraded to XP SP2, and
need to be reinstalled. There is also an option in Control Panel/Tablet and
Pen Settings/Pen Options tab for "Use pen button to right-click." I don't
use it for the right-click menu, just holding my pen on the screen, but you
can invoke that action by putting a check mark in the box.

ViewSonic support people explained the problem.

I have ViewSonic ViewPad 1000 Tablet PC with the touch screen and not a
digitized screen.
That is why Press and Hold does not work and that is also why when the pen
moves above the surface the mouse pointer does not follow it.

The touch screen is simply not capable to do that.

I learned something new...

Okay, so you don't have a Tablet PC as we are talking about in this
newsgroup, running the Tablet PC Edition superset software. It isn't the
same. 8-)

Good for you, Stan, however we don't support that type of installation here.
The behaviors are not the same between what you've created and the OEM
machines of users here. You would need to use the support section wherever
you obtained the Tablet PC Edition software. If it was from an MSDN
subscription, then you already know the EULA limitations of the usage.
