Hi Remay,

Issue: 25 different language ".bin" files (Arabic.bin, Czech.bin, ...) keep
showing up in each user's temp folder - C:\Documents and
Settings\"username"\Local Settings\Temp. How do I get rid of them permanently?

Details:
I have installed WinXP Pro SP2 and used the Files and Settings utility to
restore 2 users from a different computer that was running WinXP Home SP2.

At one point I was seeing the language bar show up in the task tray, then it
stopped and I have not seen it anymore (all I can remember doing is
right-clicking on it in the task tray to turn it off?).

But now I see 25 ".bin" files in each user's temp folder, and I can not get
rid of them. I delete them and they come right back upon the next reboot. If
I don't delete them, they don't get touched (date/time stamp remains the same
as when they got placed there). This is 541kb of stuff for each user that I
would just assume NOT be put in the temp folder.

I have gone to Regional and Language Options in Control Panel ...

Regional Options tab in Regional and Language Options:
- "English (United States)" is listed for "Select an item to match..."
- "United States" is listed in the "To help services provide..."

My guess the Language may corrupted, try to select English (UK) and then
Revert back to English (US) and see if the system will wake up and recognize.

Languages tab in Regional and Language Options:
- neither of the Supplemental language support boxes are checked.
Try to check the check box for Supplemental Langauge Support:
[ ] install files for complex script and right-to-left languages
(including Thai)

Then if nothing happened uncheck it again.


When clicking on the "Details" button,
For the Settings tab:
- Default input language is "English (United States) - US"
- Installed services section has EN English (United States) > Keyboard > US
- Preferences section has BOTH buttons disabled! (don't know how or why)

Did you Highlight the say Keyboard for United Sates then click on [
Language Bar..] Button and then on the Language Bar Settings check this box:
[ ] Show the Language bar on the Desktop.


Advanced tab:
- Compatibility Configuration - "Extend support of advanced text services
to all programs" - not checked
- System Configuration - "Turn off advanced text services" - not checked
(initially)

That's Right


Advanced tab in Regional and Language Options:
- "English (United States)" is listed for "Select an item to match..."
- "Code page conversion tables" has about 74 codes checked.
- "Apply all settings to the current user account and to the default user
profile" is not checked
I tried CHANGING "Turn off advanced text services" by checking the box,
deleting the 25 language files, and rebooting the computer. The same 25 files
re-appeared with the current date/time stamp.

I do not know how to get rid of these files, or am I just stuck with leaving
them there? I like to clean out the temp folders on a regular basis.

What your setting on Internet Explorer, try to see the Language setting on
the Internet Explorer and if there is Arabic Language there Remove and click
[OK] then click on Font and set the font to the Right Font for the United
sates which I think

Language Script: [ Latin Base ]

Web page font: Plain text
font:
------------------------------- --------------------------
Times New Roman Curier New

Then [OK] and Reboot ,then see what will happen.
Also check the Encoding , by clicking on View >> Encoding >> Be sure Auto is
selected and the Langauge.
HTH.
Please let us know.
