HP Tablet PC changing from Vista home to XP Pro, do I need a special Version for a tablet PC?

Question

I have a HP Tablet PC that came with Vista home but some of the software I have isn't Vista compatible so I installed XP Pro. How do I get a regular version of XP pro to allow me to use the tablet PC part of my notebook?

Answer 1

XP Pro Tablet Edition 2005 is a special version of XP Pro and is not included within the regular XP Pro disks.  There are many extra drivers and applications that allows the device to be used as a TabletPC.

Your best bet is to try to get some XP Tablet Edition restore disks from the HP.  They may or may not have them depending on your unit.  I got some for an HP TPC that I own and they were quite cheap, but yours may not be...you'll have to check with HP.
