SYMPTOMS
Under Microsoft Japanese Windows 95 and Microsoft Japanese Windows NT 3.51, ImmSetConversionStatus doesn't work if the native IME -- MS IME 95 -- is used when IME is closed.

If the IME is closed and ImmSetConversionStatus is called to set the conversion status, the new conversion status is not used when the IME is opened again. Instead, the conversion status reverts to the old setting, although the IME status window shows the new setting.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

This problem was corrected in Windows 2000.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Open MS IME 95. Set it to double-byte Hiragana mode, and type in some Hiragana characters. Then close the IME.
 * 2) Call ImmSetConversionStatus to set the IME to Katakana mode.
 * 3) Open IME. The status window appears to be in Katakana mode.
 * 4) Start typing, and notice that the Status Window reverts back to double-byte Hiragana mode.
