Since the first day when IE 7 was released UMPC owners have complained because Tip does not work properly when it’s used within IE7. Today Microsoft has confirmed this issue.
We were able to reproduce this problem. Our initial investigation indicates that something is misconfiguring the Tablet OS by turning off support for advanced text insertion into all applications. This is completely unsupported on a Tablet PC and we’re working to track down how this setting got turned off. In the meantime, I’d like to confirm that this is the entire cause of the problem you are seeing.
Please can you check this setting:
Control Panel -> Regional and Languages Options -> Languages -> Details -> Advanced -> “Extend support of advanced text services to all programs”
This checkbox should always be checked on a Tablet PC. If it’s not, please try checking it, rebooting and then see if the problem in IE7 evaporates.
Thanks, Adrian.
I have suffered from all kind of problems with IE7 from Java scripts that worked ok in IE6 and now do not work any more to this issue in my UMPC. But not any more… I went back to use Fire Fox.

Frank, is the issue specific to UMPCs or does it apply to all Tablet PCs?
According to what he said it seems tome that’s something that affects both.
this is affecting all PCs running XP. No matter if they are Tablet or not. I have multiple language installed in my desktop to change the keyboard from English to Spanish. This need that option to be on and it was turned off as soon as I installed IE. I did not know what caused that but now that it’s mentioned here I found the relation to what happened to me.
