Tabtip.exe is preventing me from booting

I was having some printer trouble so I was looking around in my processes.
While there I found the Tablet PC Input Panel listed. That's a waste of
memory since I don't have a tablet PC, I have a desktop. So I ended the
process. Later thinking a reboot might help the printer I rebooted and when
it started (after password input) I had an error. Something like "Tablet PC
Input Panel Accessory failed to load". I clicked OK and the same message
popped up again. It was stuck in a loop. So I restarted in Safe Mode and got
the same thing, but it only appeared once then a solid black screen and mouse
pointer. I rebooted normally again and now it won't even go to the password
screen I just get a black screen with mouse pointer. Anyone have any
suggestions?

Edit: I shut the PC off for a few minutes and started it back up. Now I've
got the password screen , Then the error loop again. I can access the Task
Manager through Ctrl Alt Delete, but it won't let me stop the tab tip
service. If I end the tabtip.exe process it just loads back up again.

Open in 'Safe Mode" (If you can) and enter 'services' in the search box then
look for all services relating to 'tablet' - there are I think 3 items and
set then to 'disable'. restart the PC normally.

Thanks, I did eventually fix it (I'm using it right now) I couldn't get
System Restore to work, but I rebooted with the Vista DVD in and Found System
Restore in there. That one worked.
