What is the Tablet PC Input Panel?

emc

Hi folks.

An icon for Tablet PC Input Panel has just started appearing in the Windows 7 notification area on my computer, which is not a tablet PC.

Does anyone what could have caused this, such as a Microsoft Windows Update, or installation of some third party software such as O2 Broadband?

Is this feature needed? Or can I turn it off, presumably in 'Programs and Features' - 'Turn Windows features on or off'? (Where there is a 'Tablet PC Components' entry with tool tip - Adds Tablet PC Input Panel, Windows Journal, Math Input Panel, and other handwriting recognition features.)

Thanks.

Turn it off as you described. Its to do with computers with touch screens.

- control panel / programs & features / turn windows features on or off / click the check box by " Tablet PC Optional Components " to deselect the input panel option / click "OK." / the input panel is now disabled

- Reboot your puter

- Is it solved Y / N ?

Hope this helps
