Disabling The Touch Keyboard and Handwritting Panel Service
I was popping around the community pages looking for a solution to why playing any of the van helsing titles crashes on my windows 10 pro 64 bit. I then stumbled upon this post by Krayzi.

Originally posted by Krayzi:
I have solved the problem. The Windows process tabtip32.exe appears to be involved. After killing that process, I was finally able to break the 15-minute barrier and play for as long as I liked. A little more research revealed that this is part of the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service. Disabling that service will prevent tabtip32.exe from loading after a reboot.

So all you have to do is disable the Touch keyboard and handwriting panel service, most gamers will never need this service anyways. you don't have to reboot tho. set it to manual. you can get to services fast pressing Windows key + R or type in box 'services.msc or just hit start search services. You then only need to find "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service" right click properties then set to disable(not manual, I think it may come back on if you do) and apply. to apply without a reboot just right click and stop service. you dont need to worry about any other touch services afaik.

if it crashes even after u do this be sure to look again at services to double check and make sure before giving up, some how mine came back on, i think because at first i set to manual.



Hopefully this guide fixes your problems. This is my first guide, and thanks to Krayzi for the bright insight.

Worked for me, and thank you for taking the time to put up friendly instructions for those less technically minded who still want to kill some undead :)
