Improving performance

Installation and Setup

Basics
Tablet PC setup
We recommend the following
additional setup to get the best experience possible with a Tablet
PC.
Tune system performance
For best performance,
use the primary landscape orientation.
Some Tablet PC models
run slower in portrait mode, due to hardware implementation. We recommend
using landscape mode in this situation.
Fine tuning system
performance
- Go to your system's Start menu.
- Select Setting > Control Panel.
- Make sure the Category View is
showing.
- Select the Printers and Other Hardware category.
- Select the Tablet and Pen Settings icon.
- Under the Display tab,
select the Primary Landscape screen
orientation.
Selecting the best
performance setting
- Go to your system's Start menu.
- Select Control Panel.
- Make the category view visible (the window
contains the heading "Pick a category").
- Select the Performance and Maintenance category.
- Select the Adjust Visual Effects tab.
- From the Visual Effects tab,
select Adjust for best performance.
Disable the pop-up keyboard
When you wiggle the pen,
a keyboard window appears. If you find this window interferes with
your sketching workflow, you can temporarily disable the window
as follows:
Disabling the pop-up
keyboard
- Go to the Start menu.
- Select Setting > Control Panel.
- Make sure the Category View is
showing.
- Select the Printers and Other Hardware category.
- Select the Tablet and Pen Setting icon.
- In the window that appears, select the Pen
Options tab.
- Under the Pen Action heading,
select the Start Input Panel Gesture entry.
It turns blue when selected.
- Click the Settings button.
- De-select the Enable Start Input Panel
Gesture checkbox, which removes the checkmark.
When you enter text again
(for example, to type a file name), turn this checkbox back on.
As an alternative, try to increase the size threshold of the pen
wiggle by increasing the value of the Gesture slider
to Large.
- Click OK.
Disable the mouse indicator
If a right mouse button
indicator keeps popping up next to the pen, disable it as follows:
Disabling the mouse
indicator
- Go to the Start menu.
- Select Setting > Control Panel.
- Make sure the Category View is
showing.
- Select the Printers and Other Hardware category.

Options tab.

select the Press and Hold entry.
It turns blue when selected.

the Enable press and hold for
right-click checkbox.
