Tablet Not fully functional after Win 7 upgrade

#1 Post by proaudioguy » Sat Dec 19, 2009 1:20 pm

Did a clean install using the lenovo provided discs, and ran all the system and windows updates, but the tablet only has the most basic functionality. Touch sensitivity is gone and the eraser doesn't work in Photoshop either. This all worked fine in Vista with the factory preload.

I had lots of problems getting the color calibration sensor to work and during that ordeal I was installing several of the downloadable driver files from lenovo. Installing the tablet software caused it to cease to function altogether. It said it was correct, but would not start in device manager. Not sure if that will cause an issue now. Just a bit leery of trying.

Open to suggestions.

I solved the touch sensitivity by installing this.

I backed up everything first just in case it all went south.
Now to try this. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 72937.html I'll post back if it doesn't work.

Edit, the second install fouled it all up. I installed it several times with now luck. Finally uninstalled it and it's good again, so I'd say the ThinkPad Digitizer Activity Monitor is NFG.
