Hello,

The tablet buttons on my acer c310 just stopped working. I am unable to
rotate the screen or use the scroll or function buttons. I tired using a
restore point to fix the problem but to no avial. I have a nvida geforce go
6200, winxp sp2, 2gb ram. I am not sure if it was a hotfix i recently
installed to fix a hibernation issue that might have messed things up and the
support that acer or nvida offers has not helped in resolving this issue.
Any help you guys can give me would be great. Thanks.

Reinstall the Tablet button drivers. They should be in a folder called
Acer\TabButton on your CD or the C:\ drive.

This happens occasionaly to me so I just keep a copy of the install files
on my C:\ drive.

I have had the same problem on a c300.
I installed spybot search&destroy and after that my buttons stopped working
(except the one linkedto taskman by default)
A couple of day later I discovered that spybot labs declared there was a
"false positive" ontablet pcs, removing the on screen button functionaly

I have througlthy searched for a fix, (hard to find, I could not find it
again now to post it here) and finally found some instruction to cut and
paste to make a .reg file to restore lost functionality.

I assure there is a .reg fix... somewhere

(if you find it, please post it here to share)

See the thread "DANGER: Tablet functionality deleted as threat by Spybot" on
November 4, 2006, that Mickey started. There's good information in it. You
could use a Restore Point from System Restore to revert to before you made
the changes. Afterward, update your SpyBot and remove the culprit.

1 - create a text file (with notepad) with this text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\TabBtnWL]
@=""
"Disconnect"="OnDisconnectEvent"
"DllName"="TabBtnWL.dll"
"Logoff"="OnLogoffEvent"
"Logon"="OnLogonEvent"
"Reconnect"="OnReconnectEvent"
"Shutdown"="OnShutdownEvent"
"StartShell"="OnStartShellEvent"
"Startup"="OnStartupEvent"

2 - save it with any name you want and extension “reg�, like example.reg

3 - double click the file, and respond yes to the question “are you sure to
add…�

4 - reboot and you should get everything functional

Spybot has a recovery tab - this might work.

Does it also works for the WiFi, Bluetooth, Mail, etc. buttons above de F
keys?
I installed Tablet Buttons and now the "Rotate screen", "Up and down", etc.
buttons at the side of the screen are working, but I wonder how can I make
the Bluetooth,... buttons work again.

Any suggestion?

Thank you very much!

In the same "Acer" folder where you found the "TabButton" folder there
should be a folder called "SButton" this is the driver for the "soft
buttons" above the function keys. I have found that you really need to
have ALL of the drivers found in the "Acer" folder installed for things
to work correctly.

A note about the soft button for the Wi-Fi: I found that reconnecting to
Wi-Fi after turning it off then back on using the soft button was a real
pain. I found it is much more reliable - and much quicker to reconnect -
if I disable it using the "Wireless Network Connection" icon normally
found when you right click on "My Network Places" and choose
"Properties." Just right click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon
and choose "Disable" to disable it. Double click on the icon to enable it
and start it looking for the Wi-Fi network. To reduce all the clicking
you gotta do to get to this icon I just put a copy of it in my Start
Menu. Just drag a copy of it to the permanent part of the Start Menu
while holding the Ctrl key to make a copy.

To repeat: Do not use the Wi-Fi soft button unless you want a lot of
trouble.
