Changing Tablet PC Options

If you have a Tablet PC, you can use the Tablet PC utility (New!) in the Control Panel to set the options you want. You can specify whether you are right-handed or left handed and calibrate your tablet pen to improve accuracy on the screen. You can also change the screen orientation and preview the results. The Tablet PC utility also connects you to display brightness settings in Windows Mobility Center, and pen and input device settings in the Pen and Input Device utility in the Control Panel.
