Software keyboard

Are there any software-based keyboards that would pop-up (sort of like what you can do on a Palm Pilot) and let me use my touchscreen to "type". It wouldn't be useful for writing a letter, but to control Winamp or Mappoint, it might work well without having to get a full keyboard.

If you can find a very old copy of windows95 Beta, I think. program was called "Pen Services"

It was a popup keyboard for windows, I have used it in the past.
If you connot find it, I will try to dig it out for you.

WinXP has an on-screen keyboard, I don't know how useful it would be at the resolution normally used in carpc's as the keyboard cannot be resized.

Start->programs->accessories->accessability->on-screen keyboard

Use a SEARCH. We have covered this many times before

I don't mean to be rude but we have.
