How to Enable Pen Tablet in IE 7
Windows Vista and 7 both include "Tablet PC Components," a group of features that allow you to use a pen and tablet with Internet Explorer 7 and applications installed to your PC. However, administrative users can disable these components in the "Programs and Features" utility, accessible from the Control Panel. If these features are disabled, you will not be able to use the "Tablet PC Input Panel" to insert text into Internet Explorer 7. To use a pen and tablet in IE7, check first that the "Tablet PC Components" are enabled on your computer, then use the "Tablet PC Input Panel" to write your text.
