I use the Windows Language Bar to switch between English and Japanese characters.I can do this by pressing alt+shift but after a while when i start switching to Japanese characters the extra features ( letting me switch to hiragana or katakana so on ) disapear, so I can not switch.The defualt input is Direct Input ( english characters ) so when these features go away I can no longer use japanese characters at all.I restart my computer then it starts working for a while again.Would anyone know why the language bar just stops working?
My screensaver will go on and run for about 10min and then it goes back to my desktop!10 min later it will go back on and run for another 10min and go back to my desktop again. It just keep doing it this over and over ,Does anyone know how I can make it run after it starts until I move or click the mouse to back to the desktop?
I don't know if this is the right section but I don't know where the problem lies. It could be a game issue as it's not happened on desktop, it could be hardware but I doubt it.Any game, any time, the S key will randomly stop working. Any gamers will know the S key usually means backwards in some form or another, or brake.It will just stop working and will only work when I exit the game and re-load it. Obviously this is annoying and some games you can't save when you like and some take ages to load (on this vintage thing anyway).Any idea what it is? I ran ad-aware about 4 days ago, this problem I noticed once about a week and a bit ago, and it's just done it three times on me tonight.Keyboard is PS/2 and is plugged directly into the PS/2 on the motherboard (no USB adaptor or anything). Specs of computer in question are above on the little button next to my name.
I am using windows XP Professional.After every few minutes there is an message that the Dr Watson Debugger... has stopped working and needs to close.Then Windows Explorer stops responding and everytime I have to restart the computer.If you have any information about this then please inform as i keep losing all the data each and everytime this happnes.Also I would like to mention here that previously I was using Vista and I'm very new to XP so don't have a lot of knowledge about it too.
After all the troubles I have been having with this pc, I've finally got everything working the way I wanted it to work with the exception of one thing, my screensaver. I can't figure it out. I have it set to run after 5 min of me not being on the pc, but after it runs for about 10 min or so, it stops working as if someone moved the mouse. I've left it sit that way for hours thinking that something just vibrated the mouse or something and it never comes back on. It will come back on only if I move the mouse or strike a key and let it sit for the 5 min, but then it's the same all over again. I've tried different wait times and different settings but nothing works. Any ideas?
On a friend's computer, they have broadband with Comcast. It seems that once every few hours (maybe after every restart? Not sure really...) they can't connect to the internet. I've found that going into Network connections, and clicking "Create a New Connection" on the left-hand menu and going through setting up a broadband connection manually seems to fix it- for a while.

Recently we rolled out a program called Imprivata. This program is a single sign on solution to allow our users to sign onto all of their programs without having to remember their passwords.Since this program was rolled out, I am getting reports of random computers at random times not being able to use the CTRL+ALT+DEL function.I doubt this is a hardware problem since it is happening to random computers at random times. I honestly don't believe that this is a security problem either since it works most of the time.
I've had Win XP Pro installed on a new system for about 2 years now and suddenly nothing wants to work. When I boot up, Windows loads normally but then I get this error message: "TRdww:cwindowssystem32undll32.exe: rundll32.exe" also "The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000005) click ok to terminate application"Upon doing so ONLY Microsoft Word will run. Nothing else will, no internet explorer or any other application. When I reboot in 'safe mode' most things will work...except the printer spooler (I assume drivers are not loaded)I've run several Anti-virus scans and have turned up nothing. I've also done a system-restore to an earlier time and no change!
I am using Windows XP with SP3 (updated) and there's this problem which annoys me a lot. Under Control Panel -> Visual Effects, I have selected "Adjust for Best Appearance".The problem is that the minimizing animation suddenly stops working after sometime and then starts again if I restart my PC. I don't think there's any damn thing wrong with any of the drivers.
Every time I try to install Windows XP from the CD onto my friend's computer, I get to the blue screen where you're able to format/partition the hard drive and then his keyboard stops working. I don't know how to get around this because I can't continue the installation w/o the use of the keyboard. Unfortunatly, he has Windows ME on his computer right now so this issue needs to be resolved.
The operating System is Windows XP with SP3. The system restore stops working at any point. To run the system restore has to enter the save mode. Do you know what the problem looks like and how to fix the problem?
My laptop keyboard has a strange problem. If the computer sits idle for a couple of hours, the keyboard stops working normally. I can't type any text; however, the keys will respond as shortcut keys. For example, if I open Word and type F, the file menu will appear. My built in touch pad also will not function normally. If I double click on an icon, it brings up the properties screen for that item. When I restart my computer, I am not able to type into the logon screen at all with my keyboard.
I have attached a USB keyboard to my laptop, but I still can't type right away. The only thing that works is for my to restart my computer two or three times, they press CLT-ALT-DEL on my USB keyboard. Most of the time after a couple of tries,I can type into this secondary logon screen with the USB keyboard. Once Windows is open, my regular laptop keyboard works fine again. This is until I leave it idle for a while.
i right click on taskbar toolbar language bar. I uncheck it and disappers on the taskbar. And the trillion dollar software puts it back in few minutes.
I have looked through several threads about this problem and have tried the solutions suggested but so far no success. I hope someone maybe able to come up with something.I have XP Professional installed. On Control Panel/Regional & Language Options/Languages/Details/Advanced the "turn off advanced text services" always seems to get rechecked. Even if you uncheck it the language bar on the task bar does not appear (even though it is ticked on Taskbar/right-click/Toolbars). If the Language bar option becomes available on Control Panel/Regional & Language Options/Languages/Details/Settings, when you open it all the Language Bar Settings are greyed out.
Windows XP-P. Suddenly the language task bar disappeared. I tried all options in regional language setting, not succesful. I have unchecked the "Turn off advanced text services", and clicked "apply", and then goto Preferences>Language Bar, but all Options are greyed out, I can't click any one of the 4 options. And when go back to the Advanced setting, the "Turn off advanced text services" went back to checked position.
Not a serious problem, just an annoyance. One day, I started my computer, and the Language Bar was activated on my tool-bar. I turned it off, but then next time I restarted my computer, it was there again. Basically, any time that I restart my computer, I have to close the language bar.
Anyone know how to get rid of the "Language Bar"? I thought it might have been a group policy at work that was causing it to reappear after I manually unchecked it in the toolbars option, but I am getting the same problem on my home computer as well.Both PC's (home and work) are running XP SP2. The only difference (if it means anything) is that the work PC is running Office 2003, and my home PC has Office 2007 Beta2TR.
I just installed the East Asian language package from Control Panel > Language Options. However, I can't get my language bar to appear anywhere. I clicked on Details and Language Bar preferences, and I have "Show Language Bar on Desktop" checked.
My friend just bought a new Dell desktop computer with XP home edition, and I tried to add Chinses language for him. But when I open the available languages list, I found, to my surprice, Chinese is not on it. I think Dell must have customized XP and somehow deleted Chinese. Is there a way to add it? Or there is nothing I can do?
This thing apperently happens randomly and it happens when I turn my laptop on. There is suppose to be the language bar between (3) and (4) but I tried pushing it into place (apperently I push too much) that it disappeared. From experience I know that all I need to do is restart my computer and all will be well. But I want to solve this problem once and for all, so if anyone can help I will appreciate it alot.here is an image of my problem:http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...untitled-1.jpg Oh and I would like to add that the language bar is not suppose to be between (3) and (4). It's suppose to have only one divider, so in other words, it should be between (4) and the arrow at the end of the system tray thingy. cheers!
xp pro sp3, office 2003. I work in 2 languages. I had a language bar in my task bar which allowed me always to see which was the chosen language at any time. This disappeared in 2 stages; first the language bar space still showed, but it was blank. Then the empty bar also disappeared. I tried to recover by using the control panel>regional settings>languages route, but the selection button for language bar is grayed out, and I am stuck in keyboard select.
I wish to show the language bar on my desktop but when I look at the Regioanl and Language Options in the control panel, then choose the Languages tab and select Details, the language bar preferences are disabled. Any idea how I can get the bar to show on my desktop?
Every time restart windows the language bar icon comes up in the taskbar and hten i uncheck it and everytime it comes back how do i permanitly get rid of it?
Using XP Pro with SP2.The EN language bar which sits beside the System Tray keeps coming back no matter what I do.It goes away when I untick it but it's back the next time I start Windows. Have tried locking and unlocking Taskbar, no difference.Minor problem but very irritating.
my computer is not able to display on the language bar on the taskbar, when i go to cntrol panel, language bar preference is not in active mode, 2ndly i have the problem with CD/DVD Drive, when i insert the CD/DVD containing medias like Movie, songs etc, my computer can't read.but it can read CD/DVD containing Datas like softwares.
At Regional and Language Options Text service and Input languages Under Prefrences, Language Bar appear grey and cant press. So how to fix this problem? I prefer just install some program from CD or type some paramater to recover and i don't wanna to buy software.
