Hi Guys.

A mate is having problems with his pooter, occasionally all his open windows just wont close, He clicks close and the program stops running (for example, Internet Explorer) but the window is still on his screen and wont go away. This leads to him needing to restart his computer, when he does he gets a message saying the program "ctfmon.exe" is not responding

Anyone experienced this problem before and have any solutions?

Cheers

Darth,

Check and see if your mate has Office 2000/XP/2003 installed, CTFMON.EXE is part of the Office product specifically for text input and the Office Language bar

links directly to a reference to it, its worthwhile removing it as you will hardly ever use it unless your either using voice recognition (doubt it) or a stylus (again impossible)

supposedly its also packed in Windows XP for voice recognition as well, but i've only ever seen it being added through Office applications.
