Microsoft IME, the language plug-in seems to mess up my Office XP Pro. I just finished formatting my HDD a few days ago and installed the IME (Symplified Chinese) before Office XP... When I tried to install Office after that, the computer won't let me do it saying that it can't find the Cabinet file in the CD-ROM. I reformatted and started all over again (making sure this time I installed Office first). Funnily enough it worked. But yesterday, I tried to update Office but it won't let me. Also the spell checker and maybe the grammar checker is not working now...
I think the fault is with the IME... How do I remove the IME from the pc without having to nuke me HDD again?
Cheers

you can remove the ime in control panel - regional options. its the same screen as you see during windows setup. (i guess you have winXP)

incidentally, i use the japanese ime with officeXP and have no problems.

a thought, do you have only chinese as your input language? see i have both english and japanese. so maybe not having english (if that's your case) is the problem...
