How to remove virtual keyboard from Welcome Screen?

[Roberto V]

I recently upgraded the drivers for my Wacom Graphire Digital tablet, but now
I am stuck with the Welcome Screen showing a virtual keyboard for which I
haven't been able to remove, since I don't have the need to use it.
Does anybody know how to remove it because I don't want it showing everytime
I login..

Thanks in advance

Check out Accessibility in HELP & Support ?

Well it seems that it was not a Windows Vista issue after all (well kinda),
the updated drivers for the Wacom Tablet apparently activate the Tablet PC
features incorporated in Vista, therefore removing the software update for
the tablet removes the keyboard.

I did remove the updated drivers and without it the tablet works fine!

I hope this helps

I have the same issue (installed Wacom tablet under Vista and got on-screen
keyboard at logon). I can't find anything in Help and Support, Ease of Access
center, or the on-screen keyboard options. Any other ideas? Did OP find a
resolution?

I have confirmed within Add/Remove Programs (Installed Updates) that I do not have the software updates for the Wacom Intuous 4 tablet on my Vista laptop. The annoying virtual keyboard remains stuck on my Welcome Screen.

The driver version I currently have installed is 2.9.1.1. The latest available driver from Wacom for this model is: New Driver 6.1.1-3(RC) for USB Tablets on Windows Vista & XP (32 & 64 bit)

Does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions to make this keyboard disappear?

I fixed this by disabling Windows feature: "Tablet PC Optional Components."

Please note this will disable some other applications such as the Snippet tool in your accessories.
