The writing pad and the character pad are not active in several languages
even after installing Recognizer Pack. How can I make active and use them?

Here are details:
- I recently bought Toshiba M205-S810, running with Windows XP Tablet PC
Edition 2002. (OS is English)
- I added Japanese and Japanese Input Method Editor (IME). I had no problem
to use Japanese in normal condition. (I chose Japanese as Default input
language and chose the US as Standards and formats and Location.)
- I upgraded the OS to Windows XP Tablet PC Ed. 2005.
- I installed Recognizer Pack, choosing Japanese, Korean, Chinese
(simplified/traditional).
- I installed three languages, Korean and Chinese (Taiwan/PRC), at Regional
and Language Options in Control Panel.
- Now, the menu of Input Panel shows five languages: English (United
States), Chinese (Taiwan), Japanese, Korean, Chinese (PRC).
- English and two Chinese does not have problem. All three buttons (Writing
Pad/Character Pad/On-Screen Keyboard) are active at Input Panel.
- However, in Japanese and Korean, two buttons (Writing Pad and Character
Pad) are not active so that I cannot use them. Only the On-Screen Keyboard
button is active.
- Just FYI, I do not check "Turn off advanced text service" in in Control
Panel/Regional and Language Settings/Languages tab/Details button/Advanced
tab under System Configuration.

Thanks,

Sam,

I have basically the same configuration as you do , however, I don't have
Japanese. Korean and Chinese are installed though, and the Korean writing
and character pad are "greyed out", i.e. not working. Chinese is okay.

I haven't done a MUIRP re-install, but it may be my next course of action.

Fritz,

I solved by uninstalling all Asian setting and reinstalling:

<Uninstall>
- uninstall Recognizer Pack completely
- Control Panel - Regional and Language Options
- Languages
- uncheck "East Asian Language"
- Languages - Details
- change default input language to US English
- delete all installed services (keyboards) other than US English
(you might be required to restart to delete some of them)

- restart computer
- (you might have to delete some above)

<Install>
- Install Recognizer Pack ALL LANGUAGES instead of selecting some languages.
- Control Panel - Regional and Language Options
- Language
- check "East Asian Language"
- Language - Details
- change default input language to US English
- Restart computer to apply
- Control Panel - Regional and Language Options - Language - Detail
- add the keyboard which you want to install
- Restart computer to apply

- change your default language and non-unicode language if you need

That's it.

You need to choose language of Writing Pad/Character Pad when you want to
use the recognition function.

I do not know the minimal required setting. But I could achieve to activate
the function via procedures above for your information.

Thanks,
Sam

Sam,

I may give it a go. I definitely miss the character pad in Korean. :(
