What is the best sequence to follow for m 200 SP2 installation? Should
new drivers from the Toshiba web Site be installed first? -Thanks in
advance for any help, Paul

Paul, what I did was download the XP SP2-specific updates first, and saved
them to a folder on my second partition. You could also save them in your
My Documents structure, so they won't be touched.

Then I did the XP SP2/Tablet PC Edition 2005 update from CD, starting on the
desktop. Once it finished, I methodically went through each of the driver
upgrades. Also, remember to get the Wacom penabled driver for your system
from www.wacom.com/tabletpc/.

Yes, I did the same sequence, except I did the wacom before the upgrade. I'd
recommend that, given some experiences I've heard of. You may still need to
re-install the wacom driver after the upgrade, but getting the newer one on
there is a good idea.

Can you be more specific about the Wacom driver? I went to their web
site but the drivers are listed under product names I do not
recognize. Thanks, Paul

The link was in my original post to you: www.wacom.com/tabletpc/ The
information says, "Download the enhanced driver for Tablet PC" in the right
pane.

And I did it the opposite, I had the drivers updated before SP2. So it would
look as if it will function with either method, as I've been running well.

Agree with the wacom driver though - no matter what I do, I always reinstall
it since it seems to be the most vulnerable part of a tablet, the one thing
that seems to always get overwritten even when you'd never expect it to get
touched by what you're doing.

Yes, that's been my experience as well.

HELP! I did a stupid thing - I did the install on the SP2 without
researching it. Not like me, but that little auto update reminder kept
popping up... and... I had a few extra minutes to kill.... and I did it. My
M200 is locked up with a screen showing the Windows logo, the pen keyboard,
and a "Windows is starting up...." message. It has remained this way for
over an hour, and it will not respond to anything I do except to tell me to
use the tablet button instead of pushing control-alt-delete.

I really need to get this working!!! At this point I want to get rid of
the SP2 for now and put things back the way they were. ANY help would be
very greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance,

Steve

8-) Remove the power pack from the unit, then remove the battery. Leave
them out for about five minutes and then put the battery back in, then
connect to the power source again.

You mean it wasn't the prayer I said??? :-) Thanks for your reply. I sort
of did this on my own. I had resolved a lock-up in the past by letting the
battery run down, then plugging in the power cord and starting it back up.
It worked this time too. Thanks again,

Steve

8-) Might have been, Steve. However, you don't need to discharge the
battery. Just shut down the unit, then pull the battery and unplug the
power pack.
