Touch Input Acts as Pen Input

I'm having trouble with touch input on my HP Pavilion All-in-One.

Messing around with the settings for touch input to make it more compatible with my Wacom Intuos Art,

I changed a setting that changed the touch input into Pen input whenever I touch the screen physically.

Now whenever I touch the screen it Pulls up a pen cursor instead of the normal touch cursor.

I can't hold to right click anymore and the Windows Ink Sketch Pad doesn't allow me to draw on it.

The last thing I remember changing in terms of the touch input was the calibrate button in the Tablet PC settings menu.

Is what it looks like:

When ever the cursor is still I'm trying to right click.
