What should I do if the input method in Windows XP system is missing?

Method 1 to restore the input method icon in the lower right corner of the desktop: Disable the language bar from being displayed on the taskbar

Right-click the mouse on the taskbar, a shortcut menu will pop up, and move the mouse to the "Toolbar" , a submenu will pop up, check whether the "Language Bar" is selected, if not, click to select the "Language Bar", and the input method icon will generally be displayed.

Method 2 to restore the input method icon in the lower right corner of the desktop: Enable advanced text service:

This situation is more common. Open the Control Panel (click "Start Settings Control Panel"), click "Date, Time, Language and Regional Settings" in the Control Panel, click "Language and Regional Settings", the "Language and Regional Settings" dialog box will pop up , click the "Language" tab, click the "Details" button under "Text Services and Input Languages", the "Text Services and Input Languages" dialog box will pop up, click the "Advanced" tab, under "System Configuration", Uncheck the check mark in front of "Turn off advanced text service" (that is, do not select "Compatible Configuration" and "System Configuration".

Restore the input method in the lower right corner of the desktopIcon method three: The Microsoft input method service is not enabled in the system:

Click "Start Run", type "msconfig", click "OK" or press Enter, run the "System Configuration Utility", click " Select "Ctfmon.exe" in "Start", click "OK" (you can also directly enter "ctfmon.exe" in "Start--Run" and press Enter, then enter "msconfig"--Start, change "ctfmon .exe" hook), then log out or restart and it should be fine.

If this program is not started, the input method icon will not be displayed.

Other solutions to the missing input method

I saw many friends on the Internet asking "What should I do if the input method is missing?" In fact, this question It's very simple. Let's talk about the specific method to solve this problem.

1: The input method can be used normally, but the language bar is missing.

Windows98 system: Control Panel Input Method\Check "Start the indicator on the taskbar".

Windows XP: Control Panel => Regional and Language Options => Language Details =>Language bar Check "Show language bar on desktop" and "Show other language bar icons in taskbar".

2. If the language bar appears but the display is gray, it cannot be set and the input method cannot be called up.

Then check whether the ctfmon process that selects the user text input program is started.

Windows98, Windows Select the "Startup" page, find the ctfmon item and tick it, press "Apply", "OK", and restart the machine to take effect.

3. If it still doesn’t work after setting the startup, we can search for ctfmon on the c drive (windows xp is: windows\system32\ctfmon, win98/win2000 is: windows\system\internat.exe), If ctf cannot be found, it is likely that the process file is damaged. Then just copy the program from another computer with the same system and restart the system, and the problem will be solved.
