Dagi also made one that had a target dot on a flat piece of plastic. I wasn't too impressed with it personally but might help.

I also found on my new tablet that if you tap around the spot you may find that the real spot of contact is slightly off of where it appears. If I tap on the scroll bar arrows in the browser it does nothing but if I tap a little to the 10 oclock of the arrow it works fine so experimenting might help you.
No I can't use my fingernail, I actually tried this when I got the tablet because I didn't like the idea of smudging it up with my finger tips. The nail doesn't work. It seems to need skin contact or the use of a capacitive stylus.

Unfortunately I really don't have any idea what you mean by the antistatic envelopes, but if I don't know what it is, chances are I don't have any.

Thanks for the tip about clicking around the spot though. I'll definitely try to experiment with that.

It's also true as excentric said that sometimes you have to touch a bit off-center on things. Experiment.
Thanks for the info. I'll probably look into getting one of the experimenting with the touch spot doesn't work out.
