  Hey all, I'm sure many of you use the chinese language option from windows XP. I've a problem with it now.. when i type words in hanyupinyin, the word list doesnt appear when i type. For eg when i type 'ai', only one word appears, rather then the list of words that have the pinyin 'ai'. I'm sure there's a way to change this, as i've done it before, but i cant remember since i did it a long time ago. Anyone help please?

  I remember you have to change some settings to show all the words. But how, I will post later. I'm using another computer which isn't mine.
  
  Here's the instructions:
  
  Open up Language Bar settings.
  
  Find Chinese PRC and under Keyboard, select Chinese Simplied - Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0
  
  
  
  Click on Properties.
  
  Check all the options as shown here:

  Innovative Idea..go and link your handphone message into computer..definitely big hit in town.
  
  Handphone type chinese is faster. Then transfer to computer in word format..

  Go to Tools, Options.
  
  Select Privacy, then Saved Forms tab.
  
  Uncheck Save information I entered in forms and the search bar.
