I have a Lenovo X60 tablet. When it first enters Windows XP, it shows a
keyboard on the screen and then disappears. This is normal. But now it
shows the keyboard without any keys on it before disappearing. Is this
something I should be concerned about? What would cause this?

Missing keys on the TIP keyboard is often an indication of a .NET
installation problem. I just experienced this, the result of a different
problem involving the wireless adapter and a blue screen loop. When I fixed
the blue screen problem, I found that the TIP keyboard was blank and I
couldn't use ink in OneNote anymore. In my case, .NET 2 was trashed by (I
assume) the blue screen reboot loop; I couldn't use, uninstall, re-install
or repair the .NET package. The way I fixed this was by installing the
Windows Installer Cleanup utility, removing .NET with it, re-installing .NET
and letting Windows Update add the SP1 package for it. This fixed both the
TIP keyboard and the OneNote problem.
