Keyboard shortcuts stop working

[Alison Carrico]

How the heck do you make it stop doing this, though???  I've used the "Advanced Keyboard Settings" to turn off the keyboard shortcuts for switching languages at least 150 times, and it always turns itself back on.  Is the only solution to uninstall the non-English input languages?

I have experienced the same thing.  I use the Alt key a lot to activate 
menu choices.  In Framemaker, that can make for inadvertent language 
changes when trying to activate the Shift menus -- to get File > Save

Photoshop is prone to the same problem, as the Shift and Alt keys are 
used in many shortcuts.  I've just come to expect it from time to time, 
and am no longer surprised when my dialog box entries suddenly appear in 
Cyrillic :-)
