Windows 7: Handwriting Input Panel Problems

Handwriting Input Panel no longer appears at Startup. I've temporarily fixed this by creating a shortcut for it to click after Windows loads. Tablet PC Components is checked in 'Turn Windows Features on or off.'

Splitting words no longer works in the Handwriting Input Panel.

For several days last week inputPersonalization.exe was using a consistent 50% of CPU. Don't know what made that problem stop.

These problems seemed to coincide with me uninstalling a driver for a Wacom Bamboo Tablet, installing another driver (didn't work for Adobe Photoshop), uninstalling it, re-installing the original driver. The driver is the current correct one for the tablet. The driver and Handwriting worked flawlessly for at least a year before this recent development.

I do not have a Windows 7 Pro disk.

Current items in Task Manager > Processes are:

Pen_Tablet.exe
Memory: 11,600k
Description: (blank)

Pen_TabletUser.exe
Memory: 1,900K
Description: Tablet User module for consumer driver



Pen_TouchUser.exe
Memory: 4,256k
Description: Touch User Mode Driver

Any suggestions, especially about Splitting not working? I use Handwriting exclusively, so this is a big problem. if Windows repair is my ONLY option and I can get a disk, what would be the procedure?
