Language Bar gone...

[kyuuzo]

As far as I know I haven't removed anything that should remove the Language Bar. I'm using the latest nlite, win xp sp2. When I goto regional options I can add keyboard layouts but I can't click on the Language Bar settings, nor will the Language Bar come up when I switch languages. Anyone have any ideas?

In Regional and Language options --> Languages tab --> Details button --> Advanced tab, under the system configuration section is "Turn off advanced text services" checked?

maybe it's not what you removed, maybe you disabled it in your regtweaks...

If you mean the Language Bar button under Preferences, it's not available unless one of the following is installed and added as a text service:

Speech or handwriting recognition or an Input Method Editor (IME)

Yes, is it checked. I uncheck it then it asks me to restart, so I do...but after restarting it's checked again...still no Language Bar.

Try it without removing ANY language support component removals.

Including IME from experimental.

[bob463]

no , I didn't removed anything in the language support , or any language ...

is it a taskbar problem or a service problem ?

I have same problem. When I put language bar on desktop it's ok, but when I click minimize, Language Bar simple gone and not put icon on taskbar. So I dont know is that taskbar or something spetial problem. Maybe it's simple bug. I am tried to not remove enithing, just to make unatended setup without removing components or services... and allways the same problem. I use nLite 1.0 RC8 and I think that version have Language Bar showing in taskbar bug.

Hi guys, I'm new here , whould like to say a big thanks to the maker of nLite.

BTW, I found out something that may be usefull for you if you haven't removed IME and Language bar, although it has dissapeared:

If you used the TinyXP's RegTweaks.reg file, then fully comment the following lines:

;REMOVE LANGUAGE BAR

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}]
@="Language bar"
"MenuTextPUI"="@%SystemRoot%\\System32\\msutb.dll,-325"

Else if you didn't use this regfile, it would be usefull to add these reg settings to your XP install CD:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}]
@="Language bar"
"MenuTextPUI"="@%SystemRoot%\\System32\\msutb.dll,-325"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}\Implemented Categories]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}\Implemented Categories\{00021492-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}\InProcServer32]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\msutb.dll"

I may have a solution for you - it has worked out for me: The installation was missing [b]ctfmon.exe[/b] (%systemroot%\system32\). Copied it from another system, started - and there was the language bar!

Hope this helps others too and maybe people making special builds fix it in their next editions.
