Hi, I have a Gateway E-295C Tablet running Windows XP Tablet with SP2.
I can use the writing pad and character pad to enter text in Internet
Explorer or Firefox. However, if I use Word or Journal to enter text, the
pad recognizes the entered text, after I click insert, the text is gone.
Any suggestion??

Don't have an answer for this, but, based on similar problems in other
arenas, start a blank document, insert the text, then set focus to word
and use the keyboard to "select all" to determine if the text is being
inserted in the wrong color.

>> couldn't find... <<

tablet resources are pretty fractured and ms seems to have turned it's
back on the platform...

>> KB911071 <<

Going to start a new thread here... with the subject

"Windows Update Problems, KB List"

....and post this solution there.

Those who can find or remember the other updates which caused tablet
problems, please post them in that thread so that at the very least, we
can reference it down the line by searching the subject using google groups.

Seems that Google has turned off "advanced search" in the groups, so,
came up empty when I tried to run a wildcard search on "KB9*"
