Tablet PC bug 'fills computer with ink'
 

A major bug in the Tablet PC version of Windows eats up all the memory in your computer until it crashes. Redmond has yet to acknowledge the problem with a public disclosure about the issue - or even offer a feeble blogshrug.

The culprit is the application Tabtip.exe, the site Tablet PC Talk confirms -

"The program Tabtip.exe increases in size due to a memory leak. It starts out at approximately 10MB. I have seen it zoom up to over 150MB after a couple of weeks of suspend/resume."

So figuratively speaking, the computer fills up with ink - until it can take no more. Tabtip.exe is quite an important application - it's the built-in ink digitizer responsible for handwriting recognition. Without it, you must buy and install a third-party recognition software, or plug in a keyboard.

This bug isn't new. Users first discovered it last spring, and even patched together a crude batch file which killed and restarted the ink-continent digitizer process.
