Windows 7 Language Bar Issue

[johnr6]

I have added the US-International keyboard. The language bar gives me 2 options (US-I or US). If I select US-International, it converts to US whenever I open a new window (e.g. Thunderbird). I then have to re-select US-I. Is there a way to make the selection STICK?


Never had this issue with XP. Thanks>

Go to Control Panel \ Region and Language \ Keyboards and Languages, click on Change keyboards, General \ in the section "Default input language" choose US-I
