Default Input Language Setting

  • Article

[Windows 7 Application Compatibility episode 7]

Some application that one of my customers has has this problem when running on Windows 7.

Well, this application is written in Visual Basic 6, which is not supported by Microsoft anymore.

But I heard that some applications are reported to have this problem anyway...

This application works perfectly on Windows 7 before instaling Microsoft Office.

After installing Microsoft Office, the Default Input language value is set to Office IME (I don't know about other languages, but for Korean, this value changes.)

The problem that this change causes is that language setting is automatically changed back to English whenever a user presses "Enter", even when the user wants to keep typing in Korean.

The workaround is to change the "Default input language" value back to "Korean(Korea) - Microsoft IME" (This setting can be found here: Start->Control Panel->Region and Language->Keyboards and Languages->Change Keyboards->General)
