Hi, I just realized that I can't move the pen

Hi,

I just realized that I can't move the pen to the very right edge of the screen. It seems as if the system wants to make sure that the mouse-pointer is always visible. This issue is the same in portrait and landscape (always a right marging of about 16px which is unaccessible).

Interesting: right after calibration (before I click on OK) the mouse cursor acts as expected (moves to the far right edge). After OK it doesn't move to the edge anymore.

I looked at several options in the control panel but I couldn't find an option that is responsible.

Whith an attached USB Mouse there's no issue.

Is there anyone who experiences the same and (better) has a solution for that? TIA

Got the same problem too... tough situation when you like to hide the task bar and you can't bring it back with the pen. I think it's a hardware issue as well. My screen seems to be slightly offset inside the unit itself...

johnny,

I don't think it's h/w. Try calibrating and then move the cursor with the pen *before* clicken OK (but after clicking the four crosses). You'll experience that the cursor will move to the edge.

I also did some teste whith pretty discouraging results: when you calibrate and you hold the pen exactly 90° in every direction then the problem doesn't occur. But ... then it's of course wrong calibrated...

It sounds like the digitizer part inside the pen is recessed and not located near the tip, so when you're holding the pen naturally (at a slant) the digitizer point in the pen is farther than the tip of the pen itself.

That sounds interesting, any ideas how to fix it?

Try calibrating, but tapping points a mm or so _above_ the crosshairs, instead of right where they would cross. I've had to do something similar with mine onthe right edge of the screen from the beginning.
