I'm one of those people that hates logging in. It's my computer, I'm
the only person around here who is going to get their hands on it, and
I'm not worried about security (at least not from some other human
right here). I don't want to have to log-in or choose an account every
time I boot up my computer, any more than I want to have to log-in or
choose an account when I zap a burrito in the microwave or when I pick
up the phone. I'm not in a corporate environment so I can afford to be
loose and wreckless.

My tablet PC has always been configured to just start up, without any
ceremony. Turn it on, it grinds away for longer than I would like, but
when it finally finishes, it's ready to go: Windows was up and running,
no pestering me for who I am.

Tonight I installed .NET Framework 1.1 (which is apparently required to
run the trial version of "Tablet Enhancements for Outlook").
Immediately after installing this, my boot screen is now different: the
machine boots up, and stops at the log-in screen where it wants to know
which account I want. How can I get this to bypass this screen and
just start up without hassling me?

I assume that I could uninstall .NET Framework 1.1, but then apparently
I won't be able to run the TEO.

Do I have to choose between running TEO or suffering through - oh the
humanity - clicking on my user name every time I boot? Or is there
some easy way to force it to just start up without askin' me for
anything?

Acer TM C104
all the latest stuff (XP SP2, latest Wacom driver, all updates, etc.)

Thanks.

PS: I, too, can't get the @#*! TIP to undock, but that's a separate
annoyance (and that was also the case before I installed .NET Framework
1.1, so it's not necessarily connected). One thing at a time.

Easiest solution is here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

With the powertoy installed, you can just set the autologon feature in a nice
simple GUI dialog box.

Sounds reasonable. I'll give it a try. Thanks for your help.

Hey bangbang. I'm actually the author of TEO, so I figure I'll post a reply
even though you've already received a good response.

I personally do not know of any reason why .NET 1.1 would change the login
behavior, other than that it may have created a new user account (called
ASPNET) if you have IIS installed.

If you go into Control Panel -> User Accounts and if you see a user called
ASPNET, you can remove this if you are not a developer. I assume that you
are not since if you were you probably would have had .NET 1.1 already :)

Let me know if this helps. Feel free to contact me directly at
support@einsteinware.com.

Hi, Einstein, I have a different problem. After installing .NET Framework
1.1, I lost my keyboard in the TIP. The space for the keyboard became a blank.
The keyboard came back when .NET was uninstalled. The problem was repeated
when .NET was installed a second time.
Can yen help?

Did you install the Service Pack for the .NET Framework too?

Thanks, Paul. Didn't know about service pack for .NET. Will try your
suggestion later. Installation of .NET is very time-consuming

If doing the .NET install doesn't bring everything into shape for you, the
"known fix" is:
=====
In Control Panel, go into Regional and Language Options, then select the
Languages tab, and tap the Details button. In the Default input language,
make sure your proper language is selected for your operating system.

On the Advanced tab, make sure there is a check mark in "Extend support of
advanced text services to all programs" and NO check mark in "Turn off
advanced text services."

Then on the Settings tab look at Installed services. Make sure you have
Advanced Text Services, with sub entries of Ink Connection, Tablet PC
Connection, Tablet PC Connection for Windows Journal and Tablet PC Text
Insertion.

If not, use the Add button on the right. Then use the Apply button in the
lower-right corner, followed by OK to close this screen. Back in the
Regional and Language Options screen, switch to the Advanced tab, then place
a check mark in the box at the bottom for "Apply all
settings to the current user account and to the default user profile",
followed by Apply and OK again.

Make sure to restart your Tablet PC after making the changes.
=====

If that does not work for your system, please post back.

I see others have responded to you, Skee. Definitely give their suggestions
a try.

Unfortunately I am unable to support the Framework and it's relation to
other Tablet PC components, though I can say that outside of this newsgroup,
I've not seen any other reports of that behavior.

I *really* wish MS would have made .NET 1.1 built into SP2.

Problem remains the same.
Re-installed Framework 1.1, keyboard gone. Speech and hand-writing working
OK. OSK also missing on Windows startup.
Installing SP1 for .NET 1.1 failed on error 1706.
So,problem is definitely on .NET installation, which took almost 1 hour on
my Fujitsu ST4110.
Also had Chinese language installed on the tablet.

Go to the Command Prompt (not Start/Run) and put in "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.
