SYMPTOMS
You are using a computer that is running the Korean version of Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and that uses the Korean Input Method Editor (IME). In this case, the HTML programs that use the HtmlInput ActiveX control do not support non-English keyboard characters.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the ActiveX control that is used to enter text in HTML programs always uses the remote triple-tap functionality. The triple-tap functionality is used even when you use a keyboard.



Update information

This update changes the behavior of the ActiveX control so that keys do not invoke the triple-tap behavior except when you press the following keys:
 * The number (0 through 9) keys
 * The asterisk (*) key
 * The number sign (#) key
