This is for all you guys who first checks the end of the thread: here's a summmary referring the best posts.

- First of all this problem applies to all NT versions as well, like Windows 2000 and Windows 2000 Pro

- Every type of solution possible is posted at least twice, and often discussed endlessly

- As usual in a long thread(98 posts/7 pages before me!) some people don't bother to read it through anymore,
in stead they add their own 'unique' solution. Post #85/page 6 is a hilarious example: he really thinks he's the first
with that solution, while in reality, the very same solution is described in posts #21/page 2(!) and #38/page 3...
Still, the arguments for this solution put forward in post #85/page 6 are excellent. Read them and ponder.

1. Solution type 1: *RECOMMENDED*
Represented by post #85/page 6, which has an excellent summary of the arguments for this kind of solution.
Post #53/page 4 also points out what so many seem to forget: that there might actually be situations where
you need to load he wisptis.exe, even on a non-tablet pc because it interacts with the mouse as well...
(see post #1/Page 1!), and with this solution it's done in a breeze.

2. Solution type 2: A good alternative, effectively the same as solution type 1
The general idea is to keep the wisptis.exe from loading without messing with uninstalls/registry hacks,
which is exactly what solution type 1 does(read post #85/page 6 if you don't understand why this is the best approach).
However there are countless other ways of achieving that, and this solution type is probably a more widely useful
approach: the zero bite file in solution type 1 did after all require some specialized know-how.
Represented by posts #50/page 4(splendid thinking), #80/page 6(a bit messy though).
I'm sure that many of you can come up with a couple of more ways, but PLEASE, don't add them here!
We all get the hang of it...

3. Solution type 3: The DIY-home carpentry solutions including all kinds of uninstalls/registry hacks
If you don't get by now why this is *NOT* the recommended way to go, I'm not gonna try and stop you.
You just go right ahead and try whatever fits your personal taste.
Though I do suspect that you really have to much time to kill(like me writing this post - phew )

Conclusion
----------
This thread was viewed over 90'000 times by thread #82/page 6, and now it's exactly 115,687...
Even if people surely will keep reading it, I hope you all agree that what we DON'T need is more of these
'great job' comments or DIY-home carpentry solutions, like endless registry key references
(they never have, and never will, always be exactly the same for all versions of Windows - OR Office - go figure if U
really think that's the way to go when you're advising EVERYONE to do it your way when there ARE controlled ways of
fixing this problem - I KNOW it worked for you, but that does NOT mean that it's a great idea to post it here...).

PS. There are also a couple of nice tips about tools in this post, but I'm not gonna spoil all your fun finding it
yourselves - but I could mention that there is a reference to a tool that disables almost all of the useless
plug-ins that come with Acrobat Reader 6 - so you dont have do downgrade...
DS.

So, in hopes that this is - the last - post regarding how to actually fix THIS problem...

Bye, bye
