I have the same problem. I purchased mine & an extended warranty from
Circuit City and they (phone techs) want to say it is a "software problem".
But I called Averatec (even tho' the 12 mos. is over) and they said it
sounded like a hardware problem. I've had it since March, 2006, and it did
not do this "ghost writing" at first - this has just started in the last few
months.

A computer guy who now works for Office Max said that it is a digitizer
problem that cannot be fixed and they should replace the computer. He
mentioned another brand that also had this same problem.

I sent it off this week because they have to fix the CMOS battery anyhow -
that loud alarm is driving me bonkers. So we will see....

Update - I got a phone call today from the repair facility for Circuit City
and they are going to have to replace my Averatec Tablet PC 3500. The
digitzer is the problem.

I guess the guy who siad it couldn't be fixed and they would have to replace
it was right!
