[Update: Unfortunately, it looks like this is a hardware problem, and my tablet is dead. This means that the comics, too, will be temporarily dead. I’m headed out right now to see if I can buy another tablet tonight, ‘cause this isn’t cool. Thanks for all your help and suggestions, though.]

I have four different comic things I’ve been working on, and I haven’t been able to finish a single one because my tablet keeps locking up. There’s nothing more frustrating than being halfway through drawing a cell and then losing all the unsaved work, you know? Especially after it’s happened about fifty times.

It’s a Toshiba m205, and it worked fine up until last week. I didn’t install any new software. There’s no obvious reason for this to be happening.

It runs fine in safe mode. No viruses. No spyware.

Is there any way I can monitor what might be causing the instability? Or is it just time to reinstall the OS?

I really don’t want to reinstall the OS (so many apps I’d have to reinstall).

This is going to drive me nuts.

Thanks for any help…
