| Guest | ease of use: how to always use on-screen keyboard in Welcome screen? I just installed Vista on a computer. I can not use a keyboard because of disability. So I use the on-screen keyboard of vista. To log in on the Welcome screen I have to click Ease of Use center and select the on-screen keyboard. On the desktop the on-screen keyboard is automatically started. Is there a way to bypass the Ease of Use Center and have the on-screen keyboard start up automatically in the Welcome screen ? Regards, Henk |

Both the USB keyboard and the on-screen keyboard can be used at that time. Regards Tom |

You mean you can enable the TabletPC features without having a graphics tablet plugged in, or by using a Tablet PC (like a ThinkPad X61 Tablet)? ss. |

| Guest | Re: ease of use: how to always use on-screen keyboard in Welcome screen ? Ok, I wasn't sure when it kicked in... What if you configure Vista to automatically logon? http://www.lockergnome.com/windows/2...tomatic-logon/ -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Henk Linde" <hlinde@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:47ff9279$0$22546$ba620dc5@xxxxxx Quote: > I already setup this option but it only works after the login when the > desktop starts. > Henk > Dave wrote: Quote: >> Did you try turning it on like this describes? >> http://www.microsoft.com/enable/trai...vista/osk.aspx >> >> |

I don't really want the on-screen keyboard but it seems to be all or none with the Tablet PC feature and the snipping tool is useful for producing instructional documents. Tom |
