Hi.
The issue within ActivInspire suggests its just a setting which needs changing.
Launch ActivInspire click on File>Settings>Dual Mode ActivBoard. Change the 'Touch Input handling' from "Treat as select tool" to either Touch or Stylus or Touch or ActivPen. This will depend if you are using an ActivBoard Touch/ActivPanel Touch or ActivBoard 500 series. If you are using an ActivBoard Touch or ActivPanel Touch, choose "Touch or stylus", if a 500 series ActivBoard choose "Touch or ActivPen".
I hope this information helps.
