the handwriting views are OK, but there are no keys anymore ... just a blank
panel face. how do i get it back? system restore hasn't done it and chkdsk
/f hasn't either.

supposedly i have all the latest XP updates, and the input worked fine
yesterday, but is gone today. i didn't install anything and have both
hardware and Windows XP software firewall protecting my puter, along with
anti-virus which says no threats detected.

any help will be appreciated.

Per the other reply, I just experienced and corrected this problem. You
have a damaged .NET installation, probably .NET 2 (the culprit in my case).
I had to use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to remove the trashed
..NET 2 installation, re-install .NET 2, and let Windows Update add SP1 to
it. Afterwards, the TIP keys returned and I was able to use ink in OneNote
again.

>> Changing the Window display properties (color-white) solved the
problem. <<

Would you post the specifics on this... i.e. which window and what
(exactly) were the steps to get to the properties that you set?

Thanks in advance,
