First time I tried it, the pen featured kept disabling itself stating "Windows XP tablet edition SP required". Um, ok I have that preinstalled on the laptop. Formated my machine & put a still steamy new copy of XP tablet edition back on. Nada. Upgrade 2 SP3, nada. Most people have had little problems with this app, but if you are like me & roll the dice wrong. You are boned, there is NOTHING out there 2 help you & Microsoft just says "We cannot clarify what or if there is a problem. Thank you."
