Suddenly my tablet will only start up now using Last Known Cood
Configuration. During every start up, it stops during the Windows XP
scrolling blue thing window and won't proceed. So I shut down the power
switch and when it comes to life I get a screen offering to start in Safe
Mode, Last Known Good Configuration or in Normal Mode. Normal Mode does not
do it. So when I choose Last Known Good Configuration, it starts up Windows
and my pc is alive.
I'm not sure what changes that I may have made the messed it up or when it
first occured.
My WinXP cd is old. It is service pack 1 and I am now SP3.
What can I do?

Just to understand the scenario:
How are things with "Safe Mode"??

However, as this is not a special TabletPC related problem, IMO you
might better off asking in one of the *XP* newsgroups.
There you'll meet far more specialists than in here.

I for one have no idea on how to cure your problem.
Prior to thinking in terms of re-installing the OS, ask as advised.

Should it turn out that a fresh install from scratch would really be
necessary the version of your CD dies it matter (as long as it is the
TabletPC edition. There never were any TabletPC Edition CDs younger than
SP1.
You would just reinstall the OS, then install SP2 and SP3, then check
which newer drivers the manufacturer offers for download, install what's
needed and finally let Windows Update collect all available updates.

Hope this might help at least a little bit
