I tested a Wacom tablet on my computer a few months back, which prompted Windows Vista to automatically install the Tablet PC components. I got rid of the Wacom tablet after discovering that I’m better at using a mouse then a pen (a fact I should have realized after seeing my handwriting).
The Tablet PC Input Panel didn’t go away, though. It’s the panel that slides out from the left side of the screen to allow you to use handwriting to enter text.
To disable it, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Uninstall Programs.
3. In the left pane, click Turn Windows Features On Or Off.
4. Clear the Tablet PC Optional Components check box.
5. Click OK.
6. When prompted, click Restart Now and let your computer restart.
Same problem with Wacom and Windows 7. And the same sollution. Thank you! :)
YES! Thanks, now I don’t have to deal with that little stick out crappy window on the left hand side.
THANKS A LOT!! :D
Oh my gosh, thanks so much. I swear I would have destroyed my computer if that thing kept popping out. :)
Thank you so much! i was going insane trying to get rid of that thing
Thanks so much for this! I use a tablet for work and that damn thing was driving me crazy.
