Angry Fujitsu 3500 Tablet Crash

Does anyone have the handwriting recognition program for this?
I understand it was the FEMA workhorse for a few years.
I bought a used one, was doing the handwriting recognition "preferences" exercise, saved it, & the whole thing is a paperweight now - not even my PC fixit guru has had any luck.

Any one have software to reprogram the whole thing, or at least the hw r aspect?

Thanks!

I use the fujitsu 3500 but unfortunately didn't get any of the drivers on disk. Just preloaded on the tablet.

regards,

Bert

Thanks, Bert-
I just read this off to my PC guru.
He said he re-installed the drivers from the Fijitsu site, but maybe those eBay folks will have further insights for him.
Passing the link to him.

Tell me, do you use it for a HI program? Which? or is it a Word doc you use with it?
I haven't even had the opportunity to play with it -
Thanks!

Any other ideas or leads will still be appreciated!!!

Count your blessings, Tony!

You usually get what you pay for.....

My rule is:

Electronics that my business will rely on...buy new w/ warranty and no questions asked replacement and service.

Weapons...buy used but have them checked.

Vehicles....buy new every 2 years because they smell good.

Good luck Russ.....I hope you get it fixed.

Did you institute that policy after you had bid on this used tablet, Tony?

Russ, I use it with Omniform while I'm in the field. But, I was kinda hoping you would have some better ideas on how to better make use of the tablet. I sorta got it as a try toy also and am still in the experimental stages with it. Hopefully someone else here can comment.

Thanks,

Bert

Russ,

Like I emailed to you, I tried EVERYTHING out just before I packed it up in the box and sent it out to you.

If you are having problems (to put it mildly), please send it back to me and I will rectify the problem. I will either get it fixed or get your money back to you.

I was playing with handwriting and everything right in front of the UPS store before sending it out.

Hey dude. You have to at least give me a chance to make things right before posting all over about it.

Makes it look like I was TRYING to sell you a dud.

Geeze guys.

Actually,

Let me check. I might have a warranty on it.

I'll get back to you.

Is it just the handwriting that isn't working or the whole computer?

Hey, dudette-

Geeeze is right!

When did I ever mention your name?

When did I ever complain on this thread?

All I asked is if someone had a software program, because it went T.U. while I was doing the handwriting recognition exercise.

If I had an issue with you, you'd know about it, Wendy.

If you feel embarrassed, it's only because you brought your name into it - not me!

The whole computer is Tango Uniform.

It does not get past booting, where it comes up with some error message.
If you have a warranty, great! If not, you bought it used, & I bought it useder. Not a problem on this end!
