To save explaining elaborately this thread is an EXACT description of my
problem...

http://hardware.mcse.ms/archive39-2004-11-97413.html

which Chris Hassler was involved in but unfortunately it then stopped dead.

I've tried all the same steps and for a while had a TIP with pen input but
no keypad buttons whatsoever. However, unfortunately when I tried
reinstalling SP2 in SafeMode it resulted in the TIP disappearing completely,
only the icon is present in the tray.
My grief seemed to have started when I installed Outlook Business Contacts
Manager 2007.
I had only just done a complete system cleanup and reinstall at Easter so am
loathe to do THAT again soon. I've had a successful install of the rest of
Office2007 Pro since the Easter cleanup but hadn't bothered with
Bus.Ctct.Mgr. until now - with much regret!
Naturally I've removed Bus.Ctct.Mgr and I've tried System Restore from 3
days before hand- no joy.

My machine is Toshiba M200, XP, SP2 (sic) 1Gb RAM, 1.4Ghz cpu.

Also have .NET Framework 1.1 (1.1.4322) and .NET Framework 2.0 (2.0.50727)
installed as well as all Windows Update patches.

I'm really hoping to avoid a complete install again as I lost 500Mb of DRM
music as WindowsMediaPlayer11 doesn't support license backup!

Can someone help?

Not using a Tablet PC? Tisk, tisk, tisk.

That's a very old copy of this newsgroup being brought into a web format.
8-)

Did you try this: At the Command Prompt (within the C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\Ink enter "regsvr32 inkobj.dll" without the quotation
marks, then Enter and then "regsvr32 tpcps.dll" (without quotes) then Enter
again. Restart your machine after finishing each of those two modifications
to the Registry.

Remember, this is done in the Command Prompt window, not from the Start Menu
"run" line.

You say the TIP icon is in the Taskbar? Is it functional, i.e., it will
launch the Tablet Input Panel?

Thanks for your reply Chris.
Yes I've tried that several times. I followed all the steps you went
through with Luca in that other thread and pls treat his responses as a
carbon copy of mine, including all the file info he posted.
I've also de-installed, re-installed SP2 and at least have a form of the TIP
back, i.e. still no keypad in the "onscreen keyboard" tab just a blank blue
form.
By the way there are no 'buttons' in the ink input tab either, e.g. enter
(most important), backspace etc. - nothing!
I was hopeful when you posted your last in that thread saying that you had
at least duplicated the issue, I know it was 2 years ago, but can you
remember what you did to resolve it?
Again, not looking forward to having to reinstall everything.

I have trouble remembering two days ago, but I haven't experienced the
issue. I only tried to solve it. Let me research a bit more, and I'll post
back soon.

Another question. Do you happen to be using the XP TweakUI (or similar)
PowerToy on the system? Things like this can occur if you enable the
Activation follows mouse (X-Mouse) option.

No, not using it.

Just in case it helps, here is the latest tserver.exe.config script...

<configuration>
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version="v1.1.4322" safemode="true"/>
</startup>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<publisherPolicy apply="no" />
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="TIPLibrary"
publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.7.2600.2180-1.7.2600.2657"
newVersion="1.7.2600.2657" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>

thanks for your efforts Chris.

Mine, from my R2H:

<configuration>
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version="v1.0.3705" safemode="true"/>
</startup>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<publisherPolicy apply="no" />
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>

Killing tabtip and tcserve on my v1250, then copying all that would copy
of C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Ink from my UMPC to my
tablet fixed this problem for me. I'm pretty sure that, like you, I had a
much longer config file in there before.


TW

Hallelujah!

You wouldn't believe it: I'd given up on a result and have just spent
several hours documenting all my critical data locations, install files,
doing back-ups, preparing for another "wipe-clean" windows install...

.... I just got to dotnet framework and was faced with versions 1 & 2 having
the same download file name; so l clicked on what I thought was 2.0 just to
make sure and was presented with the Repair or Remove options.

I almost didn't, but thought "what the hell", then chose Repair...,
Reboot...

and VOILA!

Full keyboard TIP- what a sight for sore eyes!

And I was within an hour of starting the re-install process, too...

As you no doubt can tell, my relief is palpable.

thank you Chris and MiniMage for taking the time to respond; I appreciate
it.

(catch you at The Buzz again sometime.)

Chris

That is probably is just coincidence. I run both 1.x and 2.x versions of
..NET on my Tablets here, and haven't seen the issue you were having. The
different versions do different things, different things are written to the
different versions, and 1.x and 2.x are not interchangeable since the
programs which use them only access the version to which they're written.
8-) Glad it is working anyway!

Chris, I think my description of events might have thrown you off track a bit.
It WAS a coincidence, but only in terms of me opening the 2.0 version
install file.
You see I have both installed as well and it's only because the two files
are named the same that I opened one to make sure which was which.
Then, as described, I decided to let the 'Repair' function run its course.

My problem started with an install of Business Contact Manager and I've been
trying absolutely everything except it seems a "re-install" of the dotnet
framework (which hadn't occurred to me might be necessary).

So it seems something in the Bus.Ctc.Mgr. set up screwed around with .net
2.0 and hence my TIP problem.

I won't be trying to run with B.C.M. any time soon, I never had any luck
(only problems) with the Office 2003 version either: so it's very
disappointing I've never been able to try/trust this product.

Thanks again for your interest,

- Chris
