Microsoft XP Language Bar

[AlexisP]

I have windows XP home edition running on my PC and I can not get the
language bar to show on the bar at the bottom of the windows desktop.

If I go to Regional & Language Options in the Control Panel, click on the
Languages tab and then click on the Details button - the Language Bar
button is greyed out so I can not click on it to customize it.

I have installed a second language and need this bar to easily switch
between the two.

Any ideas how I can get it to show up at the bottom of the screen?

(If I right click on the task bar and select Toolbars > Language Bar,
nothing happens)

Many thanks

Alexis.

Hi
You'll have to install at least one Text Service such as speech or
handwriting recognition to make LanguageBar button available.

In Control Panel - Regional And Language Options. Take the Language
page and click Details.
On the advanced page make sure that 'turn off advanced text services' is
