The only thing that was "less-tablet" than before is that the XP Splash screen no longer says Windows XP Tablet Edition. Other than that, no problems here.
I upgraded my Motion M1200 to Windows XP SP2 yes
I upgraded my Motion M1200 to Windows XP SP2 yesterday, from SP1. Everything worked fine for a a while, when I rebooted though the TIP no longer works, journal wont start, and the Motion Dashboard application won't start. Its like the machine is no longer a TabletPC. In addition, but oddly unrelated, i no longer see any of my network connections in the network manager. I cannot make a wireless connection at all, although wired LAN seems to work just fine.
Any other Tablet Users expereinceing anything similar?

when i saw the topic name, i got really curious. what you got is simply a malfunctioned installation. try to to do system restore. SP2 fully retains the tablet functionality and even improves it (TIP), so there is no reason to say that it's not a tablet pc anymore.
XP SP2 wants to control all networking chores. The tray icon insisted that I was connected, the WIFI utility said I was not, and refused to connect because the ap was not secure. I then ran the manufacturers utility (Atheros in my case) got a lock and all is well. Later when I ran the MS utility it complained that I had shut it off and was using something else. < chuckle >quote:Originally posted by seanabrady

Hope you can work out the rest.
I've always used the operating system to control WIFI. Its always worked for me. You can connect to an unsecure network connection, just asks you if you're sure you want to. But use whatever drivers that work......that my policy.
I had one tablet that had the install fail twice before I got a successful installation. Try uninstalling the update, then reboot and try a reinstall.

Well it seems to be working now, unfortunatly I tried some many things I am not 100% certain what fixed the problem. As I looked more fully into the problem, i found that all of the tablet oriented services were not running, and I could not get them to run. Tabtip.exe, tcserver, keyboardsurrogate, were all not running, and would not start on the tablet. Almost all tablet functionality was gone, the digitizer still worked fine, but all inking was non-functional.
Here is what I did, I uninstalled the SP2 update. After rebooting into SP1 everything worked fine, full Tablet Functionality. I downloaded the SP2 update again (thank god for Cable Modems) and reinstalled. Same issue. Worked fine until I shut down, once I shut down all tablet functionality was gone.
Next, I reinstalled XP SP1 fresh install with recovery disks, then upgraded to SP2...same problem. I thought maybe some software I had was causing a problem, but it happened again with this OS only configuration. Finally I decided to restore my backup of SP1 with Apps...loaded the SP2 update, got the problem, then I ran the SP2 update again on top of the SP2 update and it has been working through right now....very odd.
