Chris,

I uninstalled SP2 on my tablet pc. It seems to be working fine, now. The
old TIP is back minus the character pad. That's okay because I really didn't
like that feature anyway.

I am worried about security, though. Any news as to when SP2, HP/Compaq
tc1100, and Windows Tablet Edition 2005 will be compatible with each other?

Thanks!

Debbie

Good to hear of the progress. Windows XP SP2 and the Tablet PC Edition 2005
are compatible with Tablet PCs, Debbie. I would suggest you review the
information here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/s...hattoknow.mspx

In addition to that information, I would strongly suggest you take a look at
www.aumha.org/secure.htm and use your anti-virus program, then some of the
free programs mentioned there to check for Trojans, malware, parasites and
browser hijackers prior to installing.

Chris, thanks for the prompt reply. I will take a look at those two sites.
I have downloaded SP2 on other computers and have experienced no problems. I
am a new tablet pc user and was surprised at the changes I noticed after
downloading SP2 onto my tablet.

It was my Novell administrator that suggested I uninstall SP2. He said it
was causing all my problems. He said I shouldn't have downloaded it in the
first place. This information is contrary to what I have been reading on
these forums. However, after visiting the hp forums, many of those users
seem to be dissatisfied with SP2, also. They are blaming hp. Hopefully, one
of the sites you provided will help me explain to my network administrator
why I need to have SP2 on my tablet.

Thanks again,

Debbie

Debbie, if you prepare before you install, and follow the suggestions on the
URLs I posted, you should have no issues. Not that I'm going to give you a
refund or anything, but preparation is 99 percent since we've got so many
people with successful upgrades. Believe me, if I thought you would have a
problem I'd be issuing warnings.
