X60T touch and pen in Winows 8

I have now been using an ebay sourced X60T for some time with Windows 8 with general success but some mixed results. Because the hinge was a little loose, I've invested in others to try to build some useful machines.
Specifically, my interests are in using the pen input to control audio applications, but I have also been asked to look at the pen input for note taking during on-site property surveys. 
The first machine is fine in Win8, but has the problem of the pen falling into the gap between the screen surface and the bezel. It appears that most machines have this gap. My workaround has been to add an icon to start the Charms function and a Toolbar to bring up the limited Programs menu.
The second machine is a 6364-CTO and is really rough, but, having installed the demo Win8 Enterprise to test, I seem to have discovered that it has pen and single-finger touch. So the questions...... Is this finger touch on this old machine resistive or capacitive? It feels resistive, and I have to press fairly hard. Is there any way of adjusting the sensitivity (I've installed the latest Wacom driver)? Does the finger use a different driver? Interestingly, on this machine there is no gap between screen and bezel.
The third machine was a DOA X61T, which probably still won't work now that I have washed the coffee out, but has a very good hinge.
I haven't got far with the surveyor's problem - ideally he wants a bit of handwriting recognition and the ability to make rough sketches into the document. I'd be interested in any ideas. It seems to me that something between LibreOffice and OneNote might be usable.

  • Touch screen and pen/stylus stop working - Helix

    Note taking with my new Helix is unbelievably frustrating! It's Windows 8 Pro -- fully updated (Windows and Lenovo drivers and apps). I am using Microsoft OneNote 2013. The problem is regular locking up or freezing of one or the other of the touch screen or the pen / stylus. Sometimes the pen still works, but fingers on the touch screen have no effect. Other times the the touch screen works, but not the pen. I'm not 100% certain that it's limited just to OneNote, but that's where it's guaranteed to happen. I can "fix" the problem most of the time by putting the Helix into sleep mode and then waking. Other times I have to shut down and restart. During a two hour session this will happen a dozen times at least. This makes it nearly unusable. Rob

    Just got this Helix for a test-drive and I'm already having problems with the stylus/touch.  I can't quite tell why, but after working with computer as a tablet for a while, the touch turns off.  Then, if I pull the stylus out of the pocket 1/2 inch or so, the touch turns back on, then about 30 seconds later it goes off.  Then, if you pop the stylus back into the slot all the way, the touch screen is fine again for several minutes.  Over and over, i'm finding the interplay between touch and stylus to be a bit quirky.  Maybe it's the machine i got or maybe it's a general problem. I have had the exact problem with the touchscreen not working without fiddling with the pen in the socket (put it in, take it out, touch it etc). Do you have the task bar on the left hand side? I've had diffiuclties with the digitizer, can't use the bottom or right of the screen for example.  I'm wondering if still detects that the pen is near it. If I see the problem again I'll be trying the task bar on the right side.  If that doesn't help I have to assume a broken switch in the pen holder / bad digitzer.   Neither of which is good on a 2500 chf machine, especially one with what seems to be a warped tablet or base (still have to measure that).

  • I have an ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad can i use one account

    I have an Ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad.  Can the same account be used.  Can my purchases on my ipod touch be synced to my ipad?

    the only limits you'll face is if any of your iPod touch apps are for the iPhone only, they'll show up as tiny in the middle of the screen. There'll be a 2X button that'll allow you to zoom it up...some look better than others. All depends on how high resolution they are made.
    Other apps will be in the app store with a + by them, those are universal and scale to fit the screen they are displayed on. Other apps you'll need to buy the iPad version. And you'll find some apps that are iPad only.

  • I downloaded iTunes 11.4 so I could set up an iPod Touch, and now it won't open at all. Can someone please tell me how to fix it?

    As mentioned - I was trying to set up an iPod Touch, and it kept telling me "open iTunes," so it dawned on me that I probably needed to update it. So I updated it, and now it just doesn't open (it bounces once, and that's it).
    For added info:
    I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
    Technically I keep all my music on an external hard drive, but I don't think anything is corrupted (because it was working fine just before I updated it).
    Thank you.

    Hi, JEvansIII.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC then launch iTunes after processing these steps.  If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Hi there,
    This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.
