On my Windows XP English version I have to use the keyboard : Korean Input System (IME 2002). The regualar Korean one does not work. The language needs to be added from the control panel.

This may be with a copy purchased in the tunnel in Yongsan?

I just did a fresh o/s install and switched from a hangul to an english keyboard (no more han-young/hanja shortcut keys Sad ) so I also had a few intial moments where I couldn't seem to get it to work even though I've been doing it for years. I didn't bother to check the links in this thread so apologies if this is already covered:

Now when I click on the 'ko' button I can see the blue-red Korean aum-yang telling me the IME is active and next to it is a white 'A' and next to that is a white hanja icon. Clicking on the 'A' will change it to a '��' or 'ga' telling me we're ready to roll. Highlighting a Korean character or word and then hitting the hanja icon will open up a list of hanja characters to substitute-


Just wanted to let everyone who is using XP Korean language pack know that pressing the two "alt" keys on your keyboard together simultaneously will do the same thing as the hanja key. I'd been looking for this shortcut for about a year, and had even asked countless koreans before i came to korea. I just happened to stumble upon this today. But i guess that they wouldn't really have a reason to know about this shortcut since they have korean windows and a hanja shortcut key on their keyboard... my question is still why i could never find that info on any site explaning about IME in XP...

I didn't see this posted anywhere, so my apologies if this is already common knowledge!

What, isn't there just a button you can press that switches your whole system over to English or other language automagically?!

Here's my problem: My copy of XP isn't legit and can't pass Microsoft's Validation test! Therefore I can't install ANY east Asian languages on my computer. All I want to be able to do is to type in Hangeul! Are there other Korean IMEs out there? Can anyone help me???

Additionally if you want to install korean language software, then you should change the unicode box to Korean otherwise Korean programs will display in gibberish. I discovered this after the software that came with my web cam didn't have English.


How does one go about this in Vista? My gf installed PandoraTV on my English Vista Home Premium machine one day while I was at work, and indeed, it displays gibberish. She was choked, and asked why it doesn't work. I have the Korean IME installed, so I can type hangul no prob. I am assuming that I need to uninstall, then reinstall with some additional step included...

hey that works.

In the classic view on control panel.

control panel> regional and language options> administrative> change system locale> choose Korean

then there is a little EN icon next to the sytem tray

click that and choose KO.

OK, so I managed to "validate" my copy of windows and get around the OGA deal with Office. Problem is, I'm running Office 2007, and the only Korean IME available (for free anyway) is the one for Office XP.

Basically, all I want to do is to be able to send emails in Korean. I tried looking for Firefox plugins but couldn't find anything. Microsoft has the Korean IME for IE, but not for IE 7, which is what I'm running. I've tried the other suggestions on this board and am still out of luck...Any other ideas? I really am at a loss!

If you're on Vista, with the Korean IME there is a 'soft keyboard' which is a hangul keyboard map pop-up.
