Scrolling through documents or websites will be smoother with the N-Trig drivers and you will get up to 4 touchpoints (only 1 without)with the driver depending on the driverversion. Simple touching and writing will work without installing the driver as you did realize already. With multiple touchpoints you'll be able to pinch and zoom photos, documents, ...
I am just starting out on a TX2-1250 that I bought used. I have loaded Windows 7 (wiped the drive from Vista, etc).
I am trying to get a good experience with as little additional software (beyond drivers) as possible.
My question is: Do you NEED to have the N-Trig software downloaded for the touchscreen to function in some way?
After loading everything from Windows Update, the touchscreen works, and the Windows 7 keyboard and handwriting tool come up.
Is there something beyond this that the N-Trig software offers?
I have looked at their web site: http://www.n-trig.com/ and the HP support pages, and I can't really see what they offer (from a software point of view) that Windows 7 doesn't have in native code. Vista didn't have either the keyboard or the pen input line, right? So you would need the N-Trig software there. But how about in Windows 7?
Thanks for reading!
