  Microsoft posts Tablet PC fix
Time: 12:48 EST/17:48 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

Microsoft has created a fix for a glitch in its Tablet PC operating system that has been causing some laptops to lose performance over time.

On Tuesday, Microsoft posted a patch to its Web site designed to prevent the problem, known as a memory leak. The problem had cropped up in the latest version of the Tablet PC operating system. The problem was linked to the program that allowed for electronic-pen input. If left open for a long period of time, the program gradually took over the bulk of a laptop's memory, eventually forcing a user to reboot the system. Microsoft acknowledged the memory leak issue in February and said then it was hoping a fix would be available soon.
