SYMPTOMS
After you install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1 or the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, the Input Method Editor (IME) may not work correctly in Microsoft Expression Design. For example, if you select Japanese in the Language bar, and then you type some text, the IME may not work as expected.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1 unexpectedly disables the IME support in Expression Design.

Note During the installation of the .NET Framework 3.5, the .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1 is also installed.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, uninstall the .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1. To do this, use one of the following methods.

On a Windows Vista-based computer

 * 1) Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Click Programs and Features, and then click View installed updates.
 * 3) Click Update for Microsoft Windows (KB929300), and then click Uninstall.
 * 4) Restart the computer.

In Windows XP or in Windows Server 2003
 Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs. In the Add or Remove Programs dialog box, click Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. If you are using Windows XP, click Remove. If you are using Windows Server 2003, click Change/Remove. Repeat steps 1 through 3 in this section to uninstall the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1. Reinstall the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Redistributable Package. To do this, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
