[How To Type In Korean], On Windows XP

[kpopmusicuk]

I know there's a lot of people who are unable to type in Korean on their computer because they don't have "Korean" in their 'non-Unicode option' menu.

I had the same problem....so I tried to figure out a way around it, and I found a way, so I thought I'd share

1. You want to download the Korean Language Pack which you can get HERE
(It's on the right side of the screen...)

2. Then, you need to download the Global IME (Korean) which you can get HERE
(It's on the right side of the screen...)

3. Reset your computer

4. The tool bar on your screen should have an EN button for english and a KO button for Korean.

5. When you click on the KO button...you'll see like a red/blue round thing (from the Korean flag)...then a letter "A"...click the "A" and it should change to the Korean lettering of "Ga"

6. Type away!

are u sure this works? i followed the instructions, and everything was installed, but i don't see any EN/KO button. is it suppose to be on the toolbar? i have XP. thanks.

Yes, because I am using it now, you have to enable as an input type on ure keyboard.

[choif01]

sorry if im getting annoying, but how would you enable it on your keyboard? I am totally lost.

[kpopmusicuk]

go start -> control panel -> regional and language options -> click advanced tab, and select everything as korean.

If you don't have Windows XP, then you have to go to Microsoft page to download Korean IME
Search >>> Korean IME
the file name is mskoime.exe, I think >_>

I can use both Hangul and Hanja under Windows XP.

thanx, it works, but i have home XP, so I can't use the Global one.

[shockerpb03]

I only installed support for East Asian languages in WinXP and then added Korean and Japanese to the Language selector in taskbar. Now I have KO, JP, FI and EN in taskbar For some reason I couldn't get Chinese working, but that's another case
