    Hey,

    I recently themed my computer (Gateway CX2724 Tablet). I installed LOGONSTUDIO, WindowBlinds, wincustomize, Iconpackage, and a couple of others.

    I tried using my tablet yesterday, and it wasn't working. The stylus would not work. This laptop is 3 weeks old, and the tablet was in perfect condition before I themed it.

    I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who knows if those programs could override the tablet functions.

    Thanks for the help in advance.

    Dan.

    You want to override functions or "disable" your tablet, as you said in the title?

    You can turn off the tablet/pen features through windows device manager - right click Wacom (or similar) pen device and disable (or uninstall!) the device.

    I think he wants to get the tablet feature back, but yeah, checking the device manager is a good idea.
