Input Panel not appearing

Hi there

I have a Toshiba Portege M200 and carriend out a rebuild last week with
Tablet Pc OS 2005. Since then, the tablet PC input panel will not
appear either when the icon is clicked on the taskbar or when hovering
the pen over a text input area. Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Ivan

Re: Input Panel not appearing

Ivan, you might try this fix and see if it will help you. Part of the
solution could be editing the Registry, and if you don't know how, I would
make darn sure you create a back-up before entering the process. Please use
caution:
=====
First, check something if you would. Go to Start/Run and put in "msconfig"
without the quotation marks and then tap the OK button. Then go to the
Startup tab. Please verify two things:

(1) There is a listing in the Startup Item column for "tablet s" (without
quotes), and there is a check mark in the box to the left of it.
(2) There is a listing in the Startup Item column for "tabtip" (again
without quotes), and there is a check mark in the box to the left of it.

**Please make notes of the information, how things are listed, and what
results you see along the way. Please post that information here, so I can
relay it on. It will help being able to get Microsoft to fix the problem.**

If both of the above are correct, then we need to edit the Registry. If
neither are listed, we've got another issue. If both are listed, but don't
have check marks in the boxes to the left of the entry, please place a check
mark in the box, tap Apply, then OK and close out the System Configuration
Utility. Then restart your system and see if the floating tip functions
properly when the following three items are present (all three are
required): (1) the Tablet Input Panel is in Undock mode, (2) the pen is
within about 1/2 inch of the screen and, (3) the cursor is in a text input
area.

If this FAILS to function correctly, then you need to edit the Registry.
This can be done from Start/Run by putting in "regedit" (without quotes) and
tapping the OK button.

**If you haven't done this before, please follow the information to back up
the data by going to Help, then Help Topics, select the Index and put in
"backing up data" in the Search line. With that result, select "registry
data" and then explicitly follow the information to ensure you've got a
proper backup before editing anything.**

After backing up the Registry (it may take a while, because it is quite
large), you will note the listing of My Computer in the left pane. Tap the
+ sign next to it to expand, and you will see five different folders. We're
interested in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE listing where you need to navigate to:
\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. There's a lot of
information listed, so take your time, and just keep navigating until you
reach the precise location by tapping any additional + signs in the left
pane to expand what's below the listing.

First, once you're down to the Run location, you'll see a lot of entries
revealed in the right panel. Look for one named StartTabletService. The
listing in the Data column should be "tablet s" without the quotes. If it
is NOT, right-click the entry in the name column (StartTabletService) and
select Modify off the menu. This will open a new screen where you can put
the entry "tablet s" WITHOUT THE QUOTES in the Value data: line. After
you've precisely entered tablet s, tap the OK button.

Second, look for the "TabletTip" entry (without quotes) in the Name column,
then look in the Data column to see if EXACTLY this is listed - including
the quotation marks and spacing:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\tabtip.exe" /resume .
If that exact phrase from "C: through /resume is not listed, right-click the
TabletTip entry in the Name column, and again select Modify. Enter the
additional or corrected information, again followed by OK.

You should now be done with editing the Registry. Just close the Registry
Editor either by tapping the red box with the white X in the upper-right
corner or using the File drop-down menu, followed by Exit. Restart your
computer, then verify that the operation of the floating TIP icon is proper.

If the functionality is proper, i.e., the floating Tablet Input Panel icon
appears when the TIP is in Undock mode, your pen is within about 1/2 inch of
the screen and the cursor is in a text input area, then you can delete your
Registry backup file from wherever you saved it.
=====

Please post back with your results.

Re: Input Panel not appearing

Hi Chris

Thanks for the fast response. When I brought up msconfig, the 'tablet
s' item was not listed. Tabtip was present and had a tick in the
checkbox. Do you want me to add the the 'StartTabletService' item to
the registry?

Cheers

Ivan

If it isn't showing, follow the instructions for making the correction in
the Registry. Be cautious! 8-)

Re: Input Panel not appearing

Hi Chris

OK - I added the 'StartTabletService' and put 'tablet s' as a string
value. The 'TabletTip' item was present as listed above. I rebooted but
still do not see the input panel anywhere - not at logon, docked or
undocked. Any ideas on what to try next?

Thanks for your help.

Ivan

Re: Input Panel not appearing

Now go into Control Panel/Regional and Language Options. On the Languages
tab, tap the Details button. Now look on the Advanced tab and make sure
there is a check mark in the box left of "Extend support of advanced text
services to all programs" and there is NO check mark in "Turn off advanced
text services."

If those are incorrect, change them and reboot your system.

If those were correct please post back, listing what you have installed on
the Settings tab (same Text Services and Input Languages screens). The
Default input language (top rectangular selection drop-down) and the
Installed services screen should match, along with having the following:

Advanced Text Services, with at least three of the following four installed
(1) Ink Correction, (2) Tablet PC Correction, (3) Tablet PC Correction for
Windows Journal and (4) Tablet PC Text Insertion. Three is normal, and if
you have Office 2003 installed, you will have four entries. If you have
none or less than three, use the Add... button. If you add something here,
restart your system after you OK your way out.

Re: Input Panel not appearing

The advanced settings were correct. English US is the default language
and all 4 services were installed. Secondary language of English
(Ireland) is also installed which also has the 4 services active. Still
no input panel!

Thanks for your patience

Thinking . . . Could you please leave the previous post in your response.
Makes it much easier to review what we've done before. 8-)

Try this: Go to the Command Prompt (not Start/Run) and 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.

Thanks - both dll registrations succeeded from the c:\program

still no joy.

Re: Input Panel not appearing

Okay, sorry for all this, but we should review step-by-step and make sure
nothing is missing. Unfortunately, not seeing your machine, I can only
guess what single thing or combination of things might be causing this. You
did say you reinstalled from the OEM CD/DVD, correct? Did you format the
drive or reinstall over the top of what was there, and was the previous
installation functioning properly?

Meanwhile, please have patience and retrace the steps from the beginning
again, methodically using some of the original troubleshooting information I
posted months ago. I know we've covered some of the information, but
perhaps missed something. 8-)

(2) There is a listing in the Startup Item column for "tabtip" (again
without quotes), and there is a check mark in the box to the left of it.


If both of the above are correct, then we need to edit the Registry. If
neither are listed, we've got another issue. If both are listed, but don't

No problem:

1) Re-install was from an OEM CD of Tablet PC OS 2005 from MSDN
Subscriber Downloads. Drive was re-formatted. Previous version worked.

2) msconfig confirms that both 'tablet s' and 'tabtip' are present in
the Startup section and checkbox is checked.

3) Both entries are present in the registry as listed above

4) 'Extend support of advanced tect services' is checked

5) 'Turn off advanced text services' is unchecked

6) Default Language is English US and the 4 Tablet PC services are
associated.

7) DLL Registration succeeded for inkobj.dll and tpcps.dll

Thanks

Ivan

Re: Input Panel not appearing

I'm very puzzled. Which Tablet PC is this again? Do you have the Microsoft
..NET 1.1 framework installed on your system? If not, that is needed. It is
available here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo.../framework1_1/ Please do
not install the beta .NET 2.0 version on the Tablet. It has "issues" at
this point.

Running .Net framework 1.1. Tablet PC is Toshiba Portege M200.

Would it be any benefit giving you versions of the dll files used? If
so, what's the easiest way of doing this?

Thanks for all you assistance

Re: Input Panel not appearing

Sorry about forgetting the M200. Everything is blurry at the moment, and I
believe we're probably spending a lot of time chasing something we'll
probably never be able to determine the cause of. At this point, I would
suggest rebuilding your system.

Look how much time we've spent tracking and snooping, and still haven't
determined what's going on. We had a similar situation here during the
winter, and I even did a Remote Assistance session with the user (in Italy,
I believe), traded out some .dll files, etc., and finally a fresh install
corrected whatever the problem was like magic. 8-)

I would use the OEM CD/DVD, make sure the anti-virus is either uninstalled
or completely killed, and then upgrade to XP SP2 and the Tablet PC Edition
2005 with nothing else installed on the system.
