I have recently noticed that I need to recalibrate my sreen with digitizer every 2 days or else the areas of the screen I touch with the stylus are not the areas that register with my visor. Certain characters also seem to have difficulty registering, the #1 and the letter L and h (I never had any trouble before and could write very quickly) What could be causing this? The only thing I can think of is that about a week ago I dropped my Visor but didn't think anything happened to it. Does anyone know if Handspring will fix this or send me another unit if I can't figure out how to fix this?

I've recently begun to have this same problem. In fact, it's so bad that I have to recalibrate the digitizer several times a day.

Using a freehand note-taking application to test the accuracy, I've found that the top-to-bottom calibration remains good. It's the left-to-right calibration that is the biggest problem. It seems as if the right-hand calibration point drifts left or right by as much as 1/8 inch over time.

I'm still trying to get a handle on other variables that could be affecting this behavior. The most likely one seems to be a change in batteries; I regularly switch between NiCd and NiMH batteries (never mixing them, of course), and I notice the miscalibration most often in the morning, shortly after I change the batteries. This is also the time of day when I head outside to wait at the bus stop, so perhaps environmental change is a factor as well.

I'm using Silkyboard, so I haven't been using Graffiti much and thus haven't noticed a loss of accuracy there. (The Silkyboard keys are about 1/4 inch square, so I've *definitely* noticed the inaccuracy there. :-))

I too recently dropped my Visor, and I suspect this could be how it all started. Sigh.
