Installing the USB Tablet Adapter

The USB Tablet Adapter drivers are not installed during this installation process. They are simply copied to the installation directory, in the USB Tablet Adapter Driver subdirectory.  By default, this is C:\Program Files\GTCO CalComp\TabletWorks\Driver.  To manually install the drivers:
