Sometimes when the handwriting is transferred to Word, Outlook, Onenote, or a
text box in IE it fails to appear. Sometimes it will appear but after a 5
second delay but only half of the handwriting. I posted this issue last fall
and followed the recommendations which resulted is some relief but the
problem still intermittently continues.

System: Gateway M275
OS: XP SP2 - downloaded in August.
RAM: 512
Graphics Controller: Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Driver Version 6.14.10.3889
(8.20-2004)

Last time I posted this issue the recommendation was to update my graphics
drivers.... this initially helped but has not resolved the problem. It seems
that the problem is progressive over a period of time and that rebooting
resolve it temporarily. Unfortunately, the period of time is not consistent
and ranges from 30 mins to 12 hours.

It could be a couple things, Rich, or a combination thereof. Which versions
of Word, Outlook and OneNote are you using? Are you doing a myriad of
things, i.e., having several applications open at the same time?

From your timing indications, it seems to build up, so it may be related to
the memory loss from the Tablet Input Panel which Microsoft is investigating
and attempting to fix.

You might want to try this (just a thought to kick it into gear or reset
things): NOTE: If you're using any East Asian languages, this will close
the language bar. Go into Control Panel/Regional and Language
Options/Languages tab. Tap the Details button, then the Advanced tab.
Under System Configuration, put a check mark in "Turn off advanced text
services" tap Apply, then OK your way out. Restart your Tablet.

Then go back in, remove the check mark and follow that with a restart of the
system again. I would also verify you have the absolute latest drivers for
your Tablet PC installed. If you haven't updated them since installing XP
SP2, I would either update or reinstall all those available.

Chris... thanks for the response.

Office Professional 2003 and One Note 2003... and yes, I often have all of
these aps open at the same time.

while browsing around this morning on other TabletPC sites I saw these
story. However, I read that MS has not acknowledged that there is an Inking
memory link... is this true?

I'll try this and let you know. Thanks.

Chris, how would I go about doing this? And, are you suggesting all drivers
or just the one related to the TIP?

Yes, Microsoft is working on a solution to the memory leak. Keep in mind, a
simple restart of the system will clear the "leak" and you can go on from
there. I would say in reality you probably wouldn't see any issues unless
you were leaving your system on day after day with very heavy Ink usage.

I wouldn't think having a couple apps open, like Word, OneNote, Outlook,
etc., even with 512 RAM it shouldn't behave like that. What I was thinking
was some heavy duty number crunching programs or manipulations of very large
photos which might cause slight hiccups. 8-)

The drivers, if you haven't checked them since installing XP SP2 and the
Tablet PC Edition 2005, I would especially install the BIOS version released
12-21-2004 if you haven't already. If you have, pass on that. But the
video driver here for sure from Gateway here:
http://support.gateway.com/support/d...&param=3501734
and the Wacom pen driver 4.82-9a from here:

Rich, upgrade to at least 1.256GB (as mine M275x) of ram. 4 or more programs
that are as memory intensive as MS makes them. hah.
Try also fixing your windows virtual memory. Get it to at least 3x your real
memory, and keep it min and max at that amount. This will stop the disk from
fragmenting the virtual memory, slowing your machine. And using the life of
the disk.
I dont know what else to say.

You should leave the paging file management to Windows itself.

Actually, managing it to a fixed size is best. Windows managing it actually
slows down the computer alot. I suggest you look into it. But to be safe,
just leave it at 3 times the amount of your actual Ram.

Incorrect, James. I wish you would stop posting that. Please refer to this
article by MVP Alex Nichol who passed away Wednesday:
http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm Alex does give some suggestions if you
really need to play with the sizing, but for a normal user they should let
the system do what it is designed to do, manage the pagefile.

Each of your recommendations are fallacies as he explains. It might do you
well to read and use his information.

I was recently told that you should kill virtual memory if you
have a GB of RAM. Supposedly, the hard drive caching actually
becomes more of a liability than an asset at that point. IIRC,
that tidbit came from the instructor of the MS 2272
(Implementing/Supporting XP) class I took last month. Sheesh!
Who is right?

It doesn't really matter to me right now, since I'm maxed out at
768, and it doesn't effect the OP, unless he upgrades, but it
would be nice to know.

Your instructor was completely and totally, 100%, without any doubt,
wrong.

A lot of the recommendations regarding the pagefile are based on old Win9x
assumptions when it dealt with the swapfile. I'd suggest you read Alex's
fine article I posted the URL to earlier.

Actually chris, I'm not wrong, I have done studies on my own. And found
exactly what I have stated.
The page file gets fragmented across the drive if its not set at a constant
value.
By the way the link is broken, so I can't read the article.
I suggest you try a constant value on your own computers, you'll actually
see how much less the disk is being asccessed.
Disabling entirely, is a bad idea, I understand that.
Of course, I recomend setting the value after you've ran defrag, and you do
all this in safe mode.
IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE FACT THAT LINUX SETS A SEPERATE PARTITION FOR THE
SWAP!!! Its all the same idea, just the pagefile for windows is a FILE that
can be fragmented, and a partition is a set value on your disk that won't
change.
And the only way you can recreate that is by forcing a set value to the
windows pagefile.

That's fine.

The link is:
http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm

I see one of the problems, though, with the link and that is you're using
the web-based newsgroups instead of a real newsreader. 8-) You know you
can subscribe to any or all of the Microsoft newsgroups by setting up a news
reader (like Outlook Express) for the msnews.microsoft.com news server.
Free, no logon, no password, and anyone around the world can use it.

Chris, it's stated in that fine article, that it's not necessary on a single
user machine to set the page file like the way i describe. But either way it
won't do any harm.
I am talking from experience, and Alex was talking just about basic needs.
No a basic computer, home user, doesnt need a huge page file 3x the ram, no
it wont have any problems being fragmented on the disk. But it's still good
for you, especially if you're going to be a "power user" (in that term I mean
using the computer to where the fan is set on the highest speed all the time).
Setting the pagefile size will speed memory use.
If alex were alive today, i'd challenge him on that fact. But he is talking
on the fact that it's for a basic computer user, home user who checks email,
and buys stuff on ebay, and sometimes plays solitare! But if you're going to
be accessing large quantities of data across a network, and using large
number crunching programs. Setting Virtual Memory as I've stated is probably
better than NOT!
