    Can a normal LCD Monitor be used as a Pen Tablet?


    In my Windows 7 Professional's control panel I found a tool called "Tablet PC Settings." I opened it to see what it was. It reports that my HP w1907, which up to now I though was just a regular lcd monitor, can accept pen input.
    If this is true and not some software glitch by the os, what drivers/software do I need to get it working? (FYI: My monitor did not come with a pen.)

    See Attachment for screenshot of dialog where oddity is found.

    If it isn't a touch-sensitive screen, then it won't work with a pen or touch input.

    Could be, or Windows may have mistaken another device as being capable I really cannot answer
