Finepoint pen not recognized by Windows 7

[David Kirk]

I have a Gateway CX200X tablet on which I just did a clean install of Windows
7. As a result, the pen is completely disabled. Tablet features are enabled
and there are various icons and menus indicating that to be the case but the
screen does not recognize the pen at all. Windows update has tried and
failed to download a driver; when I search for finepoint drivers, I end up
with dead ends. Can anyone help me to get my tablet pen working again on
Windows 7 or, in the alternative, how I would go about re-installing Vista,
under which the pen worked fine.

Has your machine a Wacom digitizer?
If so, check for the latest drivers ob the Wacom website.

According to the GAteway site, there don't seem to be any finepoint
drivers for Win 7.
Have you tried the Vista Finepoint drivers?

I ran into nothing but grief until I downloaded the drivers for Vista and
XP. Neither worked at first. Once I uninstalled an HID-compliant device and
searched for new hardware, Windows 7 found the tablet.
