Getting Started

Windows XP. The first time Windows starts, the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 
Tutorials appear. If you do not want this screen to appear every time you start the computer, 
select Do not show me this again. To run the tutorials later, select Start > All Programs > 
Tablet PC > Tablet PC Tutorials.

Step 3: Calibrate the digitizer

With tablet PCs, you will frequently use a pen instead of a mouse and keyboard to interact 
with the computer. Use the pen to move the pointer around the screen, and tap the screen 
to click. Use Tablet PC Input Panel to enter text (page 21).

The digitizer detects the position of the pen on the screen. You should calibrate the digitizer 
the first time you start the system, and again whenever the pointer does not align with the 
pen tip.

1. Press the Dashboard button (

) to start Motion Dashboard.

You can use Motion Dashboard to configure the system and to start commonly used 

applications. See “Using Motion Dashboard” on page 20.

2. Tap the Pen & Tablet tab.

3. Tap Calibrate Digitizer.

4. Follow the instructions in the calibration program.

Note: If you are left-handed, see “How do I adjust the system for left-handed use?” on 

Step 4: Get familiar with the system

You can use the Windows Tablet PC tutorials to learn about the tablet computing 
capabilities of Windows, such as pen support, touch screen support, digital ink input, and 
handwriting recognition.
