Language Bar Script Toggle
by Guest crossmr- 0 replies
- 143 views
I need to know if there is a key short cut for changing the script on the language bar? For example: I can use alt-shift to switch between English and Korean. However the first time I switch in a program, the korean IME always defaults to western letters for input. I have to move my mouse down and click the big white A to have it change to hangul. This has to be done on a program by program basis. if I close the program I have to do it again the next time I open it. Is there anyway for me to use a hot key, or somehow tell the system that the default script for korean ime is hangul and not western letters?

Well anyways when I play music or a video or do anything in that general area, it will lag every 2-3 minutes or so.

Re-Install XP After Installing Vista
by Guest ragman619- 3 replies
- 167 views
A user upgraded his machine to Vista when the machine really was not robust enough to handle it. I am trying to re-install XP by booting off of the CD that came with his hardware (Compaq). I can't get it to boot from that CD. I'm not concerned about losing any of the user's files or installed programs, just want to get him back to a clean base system. Any ideas from anyone out there?

Add/Remove Windows Components runs amuck
by Guest Saywut?- 3 replies
- 180 views
When trying to access Add/Remove Windows Components the Wizard loads, but it doesn't allow me to make any changes. It just loads, runs through the routine of making changes (which I have not had to opportunity to make) and completes the routine only giving me the option to click "Finish". Is there a Sysoc.inf tweak that I can make to get it to behave properly? Thanks much. -- I don''t want to know what I don''t want to know, but I don''t know what I don''t want to know.
