SYMPTOMS
When you an interactive service with a user interface that is launched on the LocalSystem account on Windows XP, no full Input Method Editor (IME) function is available.

For example, when you use a service that launches on the LocalSystem account and display a dialog box that contains an edit control, and you then switch the input locale to Japanese MS-IME2002, the Hiragana input mode does not start when you press ALT+TILDE (~).

This problem also occurs with Chinese and Korean IMEs.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, make the application a standalone application, rather than a service. This problem does not occur in standalone applications.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.
