Traditional Chinese using MSPY New Experience Input Style
by Guest Ayukawa- 0 replies
- 103 views
I'm having an annoying problem with this new input method. Last time when I was using the previous version of MSPY and I can have SELF-LEARNING capability enabled in both simplified and traditional character set (FYI basically I don't use simplified chinese). Now I found out that the SELF-LEARNING capability mode was greyed out when I'm trying to type in chinese traditional. So far I can found nothing mentioned about the registry value of self-learning function in MSDN and the registry value in my current system is 0x00000001. Is there any method that I can have this self-learning function enabled in traditional mode as well? It is very annoying when…

I have a Windows Server 2003 SBS. Yesterday I installed, according to recommendation by Windows Updates: a. Hotfix for Windows XP KB954550-v5** b. .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for .... KB961847. I didn't realize it's "for Windows XP". Anyway, the first one went through**. The second one failed. (**I am assuming this was the patch I installed by looking at Control Panel Add/Remove Programs. I didn't notice it while installing. However, Windows Update website history does not list this patch. In other words Add/Remove Programs is different from Windows Update web site.) After rebooting, it looked ok. And then I retri…

Hi, I know this is an old threat, but it is one of the first found by Google... I had the same problem and at last found an answer that worked for me. It is very simple so give it a try... In Windows Server 2003 start AD Users & Computers (Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users and Computers) Double click the faulty user and click "Profile". In the Profile Path, replace the username by %username% (\\-server\profiles-\%username%), click OK. Now logon to the Vista PC and all should be fine except that I ended up with a default (read: empty) profile, but at least it created the username.V2 profile. You can rea…

Greetings, We ran a backup and stored it on a separate partition. A directory was created on the partition called: "WindowsImageBackup" This directory contains the files of the backup. When we attempt to restore, the restoration wizard indicates it cannot find a backup on the system. Thus alternatively we indicate that the backup is from another system and it asks what hard-drive the backup is on and we indicate the appropriate partition it indicates a backup cannot be found. There does not appear to be any options via the recovery wizard to specify the exact location of a recovery file or catalog. We are administering our server remotely from …
