This is on an Everun UMPC running XP Table Edition. The computer senses its position in space and automatically adjusts itself to any of 4 possible conditions Landscape, Portrait and the upside-down versions of each of those. In Landscape mode I run notepad and use the icon on the taskbar to bring up the TIP. I write, ink appears at the tip of the stylus and the writing is converted to text properly. I can insert it into notepad. I rotate the computer 90 degrees. It pops into Portrait mode .. the task bar is properly reposition at the bottom of the screen, the desktop icons are all moved appropriately. The stylus can point properly at the icons and the taskbar. I bring up the TIP, write onto its surface (left to right), and the ink appears starting at the right, rotated 90 degrees and goes DOWN the screen. The ink does NOT appear at the tip of the stylus, but elsewhere on the screen, even directly onto the desktop. However, the TIP is still able to convert it to text and I can still insert it into notepad. Here's a kicker. If I write onto the TIP in portrait mode, and the ink is in the entirely wrong place, if I rotate the pc to put it back into landscape mode, when the TIP repaints, the ink appears right in the place it should be in the TIP. It's as if, no matter what position the screen is in, handwriting into TIP ALWAYS appears on the screen in the position it would be if the pc were in right-side-up landscape mode. The computer, the OS and everything else appears to work fine after changing the display by rotating the pc, only the handwriting going into the TIP doesn't match the position of the stylus. Has anyone ever seen this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
