Troubleshoot problems with pen flicks

Try the following:

• Make sure that the Use flicks to perform common actions quickly and easily check box is selected on the Flicks tab of Pen and Input Devices in Control Panel.

• Make sure that you're performing pen flicks with a tablet pen rather than a mouse.

• If only navigational flicks are enabled, make sure that you're moving your tablet pen in one of the four active directions. To view your pen flicks settings, tap the Pen flicks icon in the notification area of the Windows taskbar.

• Make sure that you are not trying to perform a pen flick over an ink-enabled surface, such as Tablet PC Input Panel or Windows Journal. If you try to perform a flick over an ink-enabled surface it will be interpreted as an ink stroke, rather than a pen flick.

• Make sure the application that you are using responds to pen flicks. To check this, try performing a pen flick in an application that does accept pen flicks, such as Internet Explorer.

• If you're still having trouble performing pen flicks, it may be helpful to practice using pen flicks.
