I stumbled upon some software that works flawlessly on a desktop running xp
pro that just simply locks everything down on my tablet and I'm wondering if
anyone can tell me why. The applications are designed to prevent spyware
from ever installing onto your system, they are called "spywareblaster" and
"spywareguard". When I installed these programs onto my tablet, everything
seemed ok until I got to the desktop and everything that supposed to load up
during that time started loading :) sheesh I mean all kinds of error boxes
came up asking me to send MS a report, but they all came up in the same
blasted place (on top of one another) and I don't know what the heck they
said. It got to the point that everything on the desktop was froze except
the ability to restart the system (thank God for that). These same apps work
very well on my desktop as previously mentioned....so well in fact that I
wanted to install them onto my tablet. The only errors I could come up with
(not specific errors cause it was to blamed fast) had to do with apoint.exe
and drwtsn.exe. This obviously has something to do with the tablet pc
edition wouldn't you all think? since it works on the desktop running xp pro?


Thanks for any input.

Tablet PCs run Windows XP Pro as the operating system, Lonnie, with the
Tablet PC Edition superset on top. If you're seeing Dr. Watson screens pop
up, that is the good Doctor capturing error messages. Apoint.exe is usually
related to the Alps pointing-device driver, i.e., your touchpad.

I would suggest you reinstall those drivers and see how it goes. It may be
an overly aggressive spyware program has determined the driver in C:\Program
Files\Apoint2K is "spyware" and either quarantined it or removed it.

Hi, Lonnie,

It doesn't solve your problem, but I routinely use Spywareblaster on all my
machines and routinely recommend it. It's one of the best program out there
to stop spyware from being installed and the fact that it's free makes it
even better. I'm not familiar with the other program.

Have you checked your drivers to see if there are any updates available.
You don't say which Tablet PC you have, but you might want to check the
manufacturer's website for updates.

Did the same thing happen when you rebooted?

The thing about it is Chris is that all I have to do is unintall the programs
and everything is right back to normal. Those programs Dr. Watson and the
apoint.exe files are not removed uninstalled or nothing like that. I got
into the event viewer and saw that they were faulting upon load up.
Obviously they are causing some problems with the spyware stuff.....man I do
wish I could get spywareblaster to work on my tablet, it does a real good job
keeping stuff off your system. Any other ideas as to how to get this to
work? Reinstalling the drivers doesn't do anything and per the other posters
suggestions, toshiba doesn't have any updated drivers for the mousepad.

Thanks for ANY help

Thanks for your suggestion Terry, but Toshiba don't have any updated drivers
that I can tell. By the way, I have a Toshiba M205 S810. Do you have a
tablet? and can you run this spywareblaster on your system? Man it does a
good job doesn't it. I don't have any trouble now that I've got it on my
desktop.

Thanks for ANY help/suggestions.

Yes, I also have a Toshiba as well as a Motion.

Spywareblaster is one of the "Must haves" I recommend on my Tools page to
combat spyware. I have it across my networks.

Toshiba has lots of drivers, Lonnie. Check out:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/t...odItemList.jsp and do a
specific Filter by Operating System for Windows XP SP2. You will see a
whole list of them.

Hi Chris...yes they have plenty of drivers :) but unfortunately none of
them apply to my tablet, or at least that is what I'm seeing. If I click on
the url you gave me in your post and do a filter search as per your
instructions I come up with updates sure, but when I click on the update
file, it shows applicable models and my model doesn't show up as one of them.
I did do a search for updates prior to my posting my last post about no
updated drivers, but I focused on my specific model in doing the search.
Should I NOT do that, and is it acceptable to install drivers for other
models, such as the Satellite, onto my model, which is the M205 S810? All
I'm trying to accomplish in asking if that is acceptable, is limiting the
re-installation of drivers, system OS's.....etc...etc...to as few as possible
:)

Thanks for your time and effort in helping me with this problem.

If you have it on your toshiba, how in the world do you get it to work? :)
I mean, why isn't it doing the same thing that it does on my machine, when
you install it on yours? I must be missing something!! It ought to be
possible on both our machines, or anyone elses for that matter. :) Help me
out here huh!

Thanks for any help.

I wish I could help more, Lonnie, but I don't know what all you have on your
machine that might be conflicting. Are you sure you have all the updates
from Toshiba installed?

What do you use for your anti-virus program? Do you use anything like
Norton SystemWorks?

What does the event viewer show when you check it after a lockup?

No, don't install drivers that aren't made for your machine, Lonnie.

Have you checked Windows Update if you don't have your computer to download
and install the updates automatically.

Because of the way Toshiba's web site is constructed, I cannot give you a
direct URL to the downloads, but maybe . . . This page is where I selected
Portables/Portege/M205-S810:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/t...ceghdgngdgmm.0
When I tap the Go button, I can then select the Downloads, then get a page
with Filler by Operating System, Filter by Category. When I select Windows
XP SP2/All Categories and then tap Apply Filter, I get 36 results including
13 released by Toshiba in September, 2004, alone.
