Windows thinks that these devices are tablets being installed.

I'm angry and relieved at the same time. I have normal PC and at one moment all menus started to open to the left. I was very uncomfortable with that (for example IE7 menus didn't even open below the menu item). I tried everything but nothing helped. Fortunately I fiund your page and fixed it. Maybe Vista should change menus layout only if it detects Tablet PC? ARRRGH!

I called HP and they could not help me. One guy even told me that I could not use it on my machine whereas I specifically bought the machine because it had the tablet pc function. thanks julius Hi ,
