c) Latest revision (US MP2x00: 710031) of NOS 2.1
717260 introduces some changes with the contrast button (allowing greater
contrast control), and fixes a few bugs concerning memory, printing, faxing
and PC cards. See the Read Me file that comes with the 717260 upgrade for
more details.
The 710031 patch (US MP2x00 only) also fixes the Dates/Find bug.
I Brain wiped and now have NOS 717260, do I need to do the above mentioned
710031 or any other patch?

Weird problem. Just for the sake of research, have you tried
dragging the pen "into a button", so to say? I. e. not tapping
the button directly, but tapping outside of it and moving the pen
in?
I sometimes think there is a software problem somewhere that
causes this. For example, I have had it occasionally that a
spot wouldn't seem to react at all, but if I waited a couple
of seconds and tried again, it worked fine. The digitizer
calibration is a classic example for that. Very often after
tapping the second X the Newton won't notice that you tapped
the third. If you wait a couple of seconds and try again,
it works fine.
You might want to make a backup, do a brainwipe and install
my NewtTest application afterwards. The digitizer subtest will
allow you to tap on the whole screen in a 16 x 16 raster. If
even after a hard reset with only NewtTest installed the
problem persists, I think you only option is a digitizer
replacement.
Best regards
