Language bar malfunction

[Guest Ruth]

I use Word 2003 with XPPro, and use the language bar all the time. On Sept. 8

or so, we started having problems:

 

1) Does not load and has to be repopulated with my frequently used keyboards

every time I start the computer;

 

2) will only register the Unicode Keyboards that come with windows XP; I

have 2 alternative Hebrew keyboards and one alternative Greek Keyboard

installed. Regional and Language options lets me select all of these, but

when I apply and close the dialogue box, they do not appear on the language

bar.

 

Between Sept 1 and Sept 8, automatic updates added a slew of updates,

including Service Pack 3; on Sept 1 we installed Kodak EasyShare 6.01

software. I performed a system restore to Aug 31, thinking that maybe in all

these updates, something caused the glitch--but it did not fix the problem.

 

DOes anyone have any ideas about what I should try next?

 

Thanks in advance
