Where is my language bar?

[heintze]

I have the symptoms described at

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/819783

I have followed the instructions. I already had service pack 2 installed. I did a search and I believe sp2 is the latest for Windows XP 2003 server. So I applied it again and rebooted.

I still don't have a language bar. When I try to add the language bar with a right click on the task bar, it shows the language bar with out a checkmark. When I select "language bar" nothing happens. When I go back to do it again, (and again, and again...) the language bar option on the context menu for the task bar is never checked! I'm fustrated!

Thanks,

Yes -- I installed chinese. I was switching between languages until I tried to hide the language bar. It sounds like, from the kb article, this is a known problem. I just wish the solution was as well known.

Thanks,
