Hi,

I recently tried to use Ink Desktop from the Windows XP 2005 Tablet PC Experience Pack ( http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tabletpc/experiencepack/default.mspx ). It does not seem to work, but has half my desktop colored orange, and keeps giving a .NET error. I tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, rebooting after uninstalling it, etc., but it keeps trying to somehow start. I just want the tablet back to normal, it's alright if I can't use the ink desktop feature.

Here is the error I'm getting (attaching complete text as an attachment):

Code: [Select]See the end of this message for details on invoking

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks & God Bless

[Saving space - attachment deleted by admin]I will suggest calling microsoft about this problem.Solved.

When i moused over to the top LEFT of the weird orange area, a menu bar SHOWED up, and I was able to press the x button and quit it.

Thanks for reading and for all the help!

God Bless
