Hello Andy, Yep, got the desktop back. Turned out I typed in what you listed "SwapAxis" "1" was the problem. I went back in and Nano'd this line out and the desktop came back with of course incorrect calibration. I have the file where you say yours is and if I make changes to the numbers, I can see it changes, the cursor is now close to where it is supposed to be but still about an inch off to the left. Axis are no longer swapped also even without the SwapAxis line. Guess it all has to do with the settings in the config file.
I will play with the numbers a little more and then get some sleep, running out of coffee anyway. Thanks for your help, I will play some more and let you know how it goes. The calibration values I get from the calibration software are totally wrong but your numbers are much better (about 2 inches off but x and y are correct) and I think I can figure it out from here maybe. More tomorrow.
