Hm. Tested with 144 dpi: no problem.
Notes: My XP installation is fresh (only two days old) with all relevant
updates (from windowsupdate) installed. Installation was made from CD marked:
"Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Disc 1" (MSDN Disc 1847). No, my PC is not
a Tablet PC :-). This installation CD comes with the SP1 built in and
it looks like a standard XP (and it is a XP Professional Edition :-).
