    Tip of Pen Right-Clicks instead of Clicking

    I need help sorting out some wierd interaction between these suspects:
    my trackball, pen/tablet, Vista Home Premium (which includes the
    tablet PC component), and ???

    I'm having troublewith pen settings for my Wacom Intuos 2 graphics
    tablet. I want the tip of the pen to 'click', but it insists on
    invoking 'right click' despite the fact that the 'Wacom Tablet
    Properties' utility shows that the tip is set to 'click - in fact
    there are no other options for the tip setting.

    I also have a Kensington Expert Mouse (trackball), and have checked
    the checkbox 'Left Handed Button Swap' in 'Kensington MouseWorks Mouse
    Properties.' I tried unchecking the box in case it was also effecting
    the tablet pen, but it didn't solve the problem.

    Thanks,
    Teffy

    P.S. In case you are wondering how I got MouseWorks to work with
    Vista, the answer is here:

    WGSGNUAYHTTE,

    If you can't get satisfaction here for your questions, try a forum (if
    you're not already) that focuses on hardware such as you have. I'm sure
    there are some good ones out there. For starters, look this one over:

    That's just a suggestion, for whatever it's worth.

    Wacom tech support had the answer - it worked for me!

    Hi Stephanie,

    Vista actually has lots of handwriting recognition "features" built-in
    -
    how helpful of Microsoft - but they tend to not play with the tablet
    that
    well.

    You need to go into the Windows control panel and then open the Pen
    and
    Input Devices control panel.

    Under the Pen Options tab highlight "Press and hold" and then click on
    the
    Settings button. At the top of the window if there is a checkmark in
    the
    "Enable press and hold for right-clicking" - deselect it and click Ok.

    Under the same Pen Options tab highlight "Start Tablet PC Input Panel"
    and
    click on the Settings button. If there is a checkmark in the "Enable
    start
    Input Panel gesture" box - deselect it and click on Ok.

    Still under the Pen and Input Devices control panel click on the
    Flicks
    tab. If there is a checkmark in the "Use flicks to perform common
    actions
    quickly and easily" - deselect it and then click on Apply and Ok.

    Close the Pen and Input Devices control panel.

    I hope this helps.

    WGSGNUAYHTTE,

    It's always a good idea to consult vendors with questions about their own
    products. Great you got your problem solved.
