Jittery digitizer problem on Toshiba Tablet PC

Chris Coulter passed this along this fix for a digitizer problem with Toshiba Portege 3500:

"I just fixed an annoying problem on my old Toshiba Tablet PC - the pen stopped working. To be precise, when I tried to use it the mouse pointer would flicker madly along the top and left edges of the screen, totally unable to track the real position of the pen. And the issue is apparently that a fresh install of XP SP2 disabled "Display Stretch" in the BIOS." [Jonathan Hardwick]

A friend of mine has encountered this exact problem, so this will be good news for him.

Sweet! I'm glad that it wasn't "just me" :)

ha! Mine went crazy one day. I took a picture to send to Lora and ask her if she knew what was up?
