I used to be able to select from several languages (English, French, German,) for keyboard input with a little En, Fr, De icon selectable in my lower taskbar. That seems to have gone away, following our extensive effort in modifying services. I did all switching by double- clicking on the icon, to get the various language abbreviations to appear as a menu. I tried StartControl PanelRegional and Languages but that sets hot key selection and I like the taskbar. "Help" doesn't seem to lead me there either...... First, click Start Run, type the following and click OK: msconfig Click the Startup tab and make sure ctfmon is listed there and is check-marked....if it is not check-marked, check it, click OK and restart. Then go to Control Panel Regional and Language Options Languages tab Details button Advanced tab: Remove the check-mark from "Turn Off Advanced Text Services" Click OK all the way out. Then go back and see if the Language Bar button is still greyed out at Regional and Language Options Languages tab Details button Settings tab Okay, Glee.......ctfmon is *not* listed in the Startup list, so I can't proceed past Square-One. There are three items in the list, with nothing in the column where 'ctfmon' should be, all are checked, and all read HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run but I know no more about them. BTW....ctfmon is not shown in my Task Manager. What next? Glen, I figured it wouldn't hurt if I removed the check mark from "turn Off Advanced Text Services" so I did so, and backed out, and Kanguage Bar button isn't grayed out, so I clicked it and backed out all the way, and now the "EN" is back in my lower toolbar. I'll reboot and check that everything is working right, and thank you so much. You guys are *great*. Glad it worked for you...may all your problems be so easy! -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/ |

BTW.....one of those formerly 'blank' items in Startup now is identified as CTFMON.....and is checked. And I made a new clone. As a by-product, I have a few new icons in the toolbar alongside 'EN'...a microphone, a 'speech tools', a '?' labeled Help and a 'Restore'. I don't need them, but they don't hurt anything, so they can just stay there. |
