Hi Everybody,
I've noticed many times that whenever Windows XP Tablet PC Edition SP2 shuts
down in Tablet Mode (I mean in converted mode) and again turns on in this
mode again, there will happen such a things for your Windows Taskbar:
1 - Addition of an excessive 'The language bar' Toolbar each time in
Taskbar. And that's why the space of other Toolbars and Placeholder for
Icons and Titles of Current Programs will decrease in size.
2 - You will see each program two times in your Taskbar, and when clicking
on it, it seems that you have clicked on another one simeltanousely.
3- Whenever you try to drag and drop the excessive 'The language bar' from
Taskbar, Windows Explorer will fall in a severe error and restarts itself
automatically. But if you right-click on the Taskbar and point to Toolbars
you will see the excessive 'The language bar' in list with the Main
'Language bar' Toolbar also in it. From here you can easily click 'The
language bar' Item to remove it from Taskbar.

Is there any update for solving this problem?

I've also seen the problem of excess language bars, and I did get it to
disappear eventually, though I'm not sure I can reconstruct how. I think I
removed all from the taskbar, and at some point was able to get one, and
only one, back.

This is fixed in Vista, but I know that people in the Middle East have
needed to be more cautious about upgrading to Vista so that may not be a
better short term approach than dumping the extra language bar instances and
fiddling until it stops adding extra language bars.

The number of people using Tablet PCs and European languages is probably not
huge, so any lack of responses to your query is probably more due to lack of
numbers than anything else.

I also have the same problem, but it is with Windows XP Pro Edition. Exactely
as described above. I saw "Language bar" toolbar and have two "The Language
bar". When they appear in the context menu, I can remove 1 of them but
thereafter, I don't see the second toolbar anymore in the context menu. So
i'm stuck with a blank tool bar called "The language bar".

If you have a hint of soultion on how to remote it, Let me know.

thanks.
Alex.

I have the same wierd problem - hasn't MS released a hotfix for that?

I saw the problem in XP but haven't seen it in Vista. Vista may be the
"fix" (though of course Vista comes with its own new set of problems).
