>my digitizer goes funky. By funky, I mean it goes through the normal "time to
>set everything up", and I press the pen point to the + marks on the screen,
>the top 2 work fine, but to get the screen to recognize my pen presses on the
>bottom two, I have to touch the screen at the VERY bottom. If i press right
>on the + mark, the Zoomer will ignore me all day long. Naturally, when I set
>up the digitizer this way, I have to press the screen about 4/5ths of an inch
>below a button to select it. Also, whenever I install my AMT Starcard modem,
>it thinks that it is a memory card that needs formatting, I have run out of
>ideas and would greatly appreciate any ideas anyne might have.
