WISPTIS.EXE

[Hernán Marsili]

Hello,

Suddenly this process appeared in my task manager. I don't any Tablet PC
component running. I didn't found any service starting it up.

I'm running Windows XP Profesionnal SP1.

¿any idea?

Hi!
"Wisptis.exe (\Windows\System32) This executable runs as a system
service that provides pen-data collection for other components of the
SDK. When a component needs to interact with the pen (for example, to
collect ink or to detect gestures), this executable is spawned as a
service to communicate directly with the input device. On a Tablet PC,
Wisptis.exe interacts with the digitizer, whereas on a desktop it
interacts with the mouse as well. The executable’s name is an acronym
that references an outdated internal name for the team that developed it
(Windows Ink Services Platform Tablet Input Subsystem)."

It's not necessary to have a tablet to have this file on your PC. Did you
install the tablet pack or Journal reader for Office XP? Or install any of
the Office 2003 products? The file is included in all of the above. Besides
supporting the tablet, it also provides handwriting support from several
input devices that a desktop might use (graphics tablet for example).
