I have a Lenovo X60 tablet. When it first enters Windows XP, it shows a
keyboard on the screen and then disappears. This is normal. But now it
shows the keyboard without any keys on it before disappearing. Is this
something I should be concerned about? What would cause this?

Hello. Is this every time you logon? Btw, do you have alot of apps in the
startup folder?

Missing keys on the TIP keyboard is often an indication of a .NET
installation problem. I just experienced this, the result of a different
problem involving the wireless adapter and a blue screen loop. When I fixed
the blue screen problem, I found that the TIP keyboard was blank and I
couldn't use ink in OneNote anymore. In my case, .NET 2 was trashed by (I
assume) the blue screen reboot loop; I couldn't use, uninstall, re-install
or repair the .NET package. The way I fixed this was by installing the
Windows Installer Cleanup utility, removing .NET with it, re-installing .NET
and letting Windows Update add the SP1 package for it. This fixed both the
TIP keyboard and the OneNote problem.

I am having that problem with .NET so I'll try the Windows Installer Cleanup
Utility, thanks!
