Make CTFMON run?

Hello folks

I know that many people want CTFMON.EXE to stop working, but I want it to run. Everytime my computer starts, ctfmon is executed automaticaly (in the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run), but windows shuts it down right away. So, it's affecting my keyboard switching capability (between french and english). The keyboard do still switch if I press ALT-SHIFT, but the icon in the lower right still shows "EN" (if I switch to french, english is my main keyboard). So, except by trying to type a é, I don't know which keyboard I am using

I remember that it was working great after my new reinstallation of Windows XP SP1a, and it even worked for a while. It stoped working after I went in Outlook Express to configure my emails (maybe it's not related, but I still want to tell when it stoped working)

So, now, how do I do to make CTFMON.EXE fully operational again? I've seen on the MS KB that by registering MSCTF.DLL and MSIMTF.DLL, it would solve the problem. Oh yes, it worked... only for a while. Now, when I register MSCTF.DLL, I see CTFMON.EXE loading in the Process Tab of the Task Manager, but it dissapears as fast as it appeared

Is a patch making CTFMON unreliable

I need help on this one

Thank you

Click to expand...
Have you tried going to Control Panel > Regional Settings > languages
tab? Click on details and choose the advanced options tab, in System
configuration check that the item 'Disable all advanced text services'
is unchecked.

Good luck
 
Hi

Yes I did. When I unchecked it, quit the window and came back, the option was automatically checked. I have finally found the source of the problem, my anti-popup, StopZilla 3.1.0.7. I've updated it to the latest version, and it works fine

Don't ask me why the service of StopZilla was killing CTFMON.EXE when it was launched

Thank you for the help.
