Hi Luca,

I ran into this exact same issue. It appears to be a .NET dependency issue
which I was able to correct by changing the configuration of TCServer.exe.

On your system go to the directory "Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Ink" under your system drive. There will probably be a file called
TCServer.exe.config. If you look at this file in notepad, it will probably
look like this:

"<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>"

This is causing TCServer to reference version 1.0 of the .NET Framework when
loaded. I am not sure if this is the desired behavior or not; however, by
removing this dependency my TIP loads correctly now.

The easiest way to remove the dependency is to just rename the file to
something like TCServer.exe.config.old. You could also force it to reference
version 1.1.4322 of the framework, but in the absence of a configuration file
..NET will use the default system configuration.

Renaming the file resolved the crashing error for me.

Unfortunately, I'm still trying to get my on-screen keyboard to come up
correctly, but one problem at a time....

Hope this helps,
-Mark

Hi Luca,

I had the same problem like you and I managed to solve it using Mark method but the only thing I do is to change the .net version instead of renaming the TCServer.exe.config.

What I do is change the version to "v1.1.4322" and restart my laptop, then it's work...hurray...

<configuration>
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version="v1.1.4322" safemode="true"/>
</startup>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<publisherPolicy apply="no" />
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>

And now need to solve the keyboard issue like Mark..
"I'm still trying to get my on-screen keyboard to come up
correctly, but one problem at a time..."

Hi Mark,

I managed to solve the on-screen keyboard problem....

Try this:

1. Press the Windows key and the U at the same time.
2. This should bring up Utility Manager -- a little manager of accessibility tools. Narrator may or may not be automatically running. If it is, close it out (it's a nuisance unless you need it).
3. Select On-Screen Keyboard in the listbox.
4. The option Start Automatically When I Login should be checked. Uncheck it.
5.Click OK.
6. Log out and back in and see if that fixed the problem.

Good luck...


Regards,
Jeffrey
