From: Krickles on 6 Mar 2008 15:43 Model: Toshiba Portege m700 OS: Win XP Tablet Edition 2005 SP2 I haven't found any program that will allow me to use my pen's eraser. The square block will display when I use the eraser side of the pen, but the functionality doesn't erase. Even when I click on the eraser icon (in any program), I still have to use the pen tip to erase. Please let me know if there is some way to make the pen eraser work. Thanks, KR

From: V Green on 6 Mar 2008 19:16 His symptoms, along with his other post about gestures not working, are telling me he has a tablet with a passive digitizer. Eraser & gestures apparently only work with active digitizers, as I finally found out on my U810.

From: Chris H on 6 Mar 2008 21:27 Ah, yes. I believe you're correct. Unfortunately, there are manufacturers around selling "tablet pcs" and not informing the buyers the lack of functions - including one major manufacturer which is selling a laptop with a swivel screen, but no digitizer at all, and people wonder what's wrong.
