Windows 7 Windows 7 Tablet problem

[hansokl]

Hey everyone, I installed Windows 7 on my Toshiba tablet pc and now my touch doesn't seem to work. I can use my stylus to write but I can use my fingers. Under System it says Pen and Touch: Pen Input Available. Does anyone know what could be the problem?
Thanks
