My TIP used to be ok. I'm not quite sure when or how, but my TIP is stretched
vertically when I am in character pad mode. There is a lot of dead space at
the bottom and it's very annoying when I dock it.

Are you running Windows XP SP2 and the Tablet PC Edition 2005, or recently
installed it? If so, have you updated your drivers? Some more information
about your system, such as brand, which version of the OS and Tablet PC
Edition you're running, drivers and whether you're in portrait or landscape
mode (or see this in both) would be helpful.

I am running SP2, but this isn't a recent install. My drivers are all up to
date. I have a Toshiba M200. It happens is both portrait and landscape.

Which Wacom driver are you running? I've got an M200 here, and am not
seeing the issue you're seeing. Are you running any type of "skin" on your
system? And you do have all the XP SP2-specific drivers from Toshiba
installed?

I do have all the proper drivers installed. I think this stretch happened
sometime when I installed the regional and language packs in the regional and
language options dialog box. Or sometime around the point I enable speech
recognition and set that up. I have the Wacom drivers installed (the latest
whatever that is), but I installed it after I had this problem. I've been
tolerating the dead space up until now, but it's becomming an eye sore hehe.
And the skin isn't the problem either as I did that after the problem started
happening.

Good. You might try taking a look at those additional languages then. In
Control Panel/Regional and Language Settings/Languages tab/Details
button/Settings tab to make sure you don't have a mix of Default input
language and the active language under Installed services.

Are you showing the Language Bar on the desktop or Taskbar, or using Key
Settings (Settings tab, button near the bottom) to switch languages? I'm
asking because I haven't seen this issue, and am trying to help pinpoint
where it might be.

In the Tablet Input Panel/Options/Character Pad, are you using
"Automatically recognize writing as text after a pause"? If that's on, try
removing the check mark and see if the Character Pad will react properly.

I looked at the additional languages an even tried uninstalling the easter
languages packs, but it didn't do anything. I removed everything from the
language options (like if there was a layout for dvorak or japanese input)
and re-installed the tablet recognition features an nothing happened. I'm not
showing the language bar on the desktop or taskbar. And my TIP isn't set to
automatically recognize writing as text after a pause.

Okay, perhaps we should back up a little bit here. Just how much "dead
space" are you seeing? With the Tablet PC Edition 2005, there is the
automatic recognition listed if you've not selected the auto-insertion, so
there is an area roughly 1/2 inch beneath the ..... line where you're
writing the letter. If you write a single character, then run your pen in
the area beneath the letter you've written it will give you choices of
recognized characters. Is this what you're seeing?

Here are some screenshots of what it looks like.

http://www.matno.com/tip-docked.png
http://www.matno.com/tip-undocked.png
http://www.matno.com/tip-undocked2.png

The undocked2 looks the same in keyboard mode as well. The docked screenshot
looks the same for the keyboard and writing pad modes. Also, the visual style
again isn't the problem as it appears the same with the one that came default
with Windows XP (Luna I think it's called?). Installation of the visual style
I'm using didn't change anything either. I'm pretty sure the problem came
about around the time I was playing with regional language options like
seeing how japanese input on the TIP worked and speech recognition with the
M200 microphones.

Your undocked2 looks normal, however the other two aren't. Try booting your
system into Safe Mode (F8), and reinstalling the graphics driver. What
screen resolution are you running? Does it make any difference if you
change, reboot the system, and then change back?

If that doesn't work, try going into the Command Prompt (not Start/Run) and
navigating to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Ink
directing. Once at the prompt, enter "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.
