Language Icon is missing and Unable to change language input
Hi,
I have the Inspiron 15R SE. The language icon at the bottom right is occasionally missing (40% of the time). This occur since I turn on my laptop, not during the use if it. If this happens, I can't change the language input, win+space doesn't help.
It's very tiring when I have to restart the laptop every time I encounter this problem. I have tried "run" "ctfmon". no response.
If I go to "control panel" -- "notification area icons" -- "turn system icons on or off", even if I change the behavior if "input indicator" to "on", there will simply be a empty space where the input icon is originally at.
I want to know what is the problem and the way to fix it.

Hi LelouchB,
It seems the issue is with the system settings. You may follow the steps below:
The following dialog box will appear:
Note: Language bar will be displayed either on taskbar or Desktop, only if you selected more than one language as input language.
Make sure your second language is listed in the input language list. If not you can add it by pressing Add button.
Here you can select where the language bar should be appeared or hidden. Make sure ‘Hidden’ is not selected. Select the appropriate option and press OK.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reply for any further assistance.

Hi,
Firstly, thank you for replying.
But is your resolution for win 7? Because mine is win 8 and I can't see the "region and language"; they are separated. And the following steps are not seen in either of "region" or "language".
