Language bar does not appear

I have a customer who cannot get the Language bar to appear on his desktop
(or in the Taskbar). He has added multiple keyboards in the Text Services
and Input Languages dialog box. When he clicks on the Language Bar... button
all four check boxes are greyed out; he cannot check any of them. I had him
go to the Advanced tab of the Text Services and Input Languages dialog where
we found "Turn off advanced text services" was checked. I had him uncheck it
and Apply the change. When he went back to the Settings tab he could click
on the Language Bar button but all four options were still greyed out. When
he went back to the Advanced tab "Turn off advanced text services" was again
checked. It seems no matter what he does the "Turn off advanced text
services" re-checks itself (resets).

I had him right click on the Taskbar and in the pop-up context menu choose
Toolbars. The Language Bar was not checked so he checked it. The Language
Bar still did not appear. The Taskbar was not locked.

I cannot figure out how to get his Language Bar to appear in the Taskbar (or
in the upper right corner). Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Gene

How many input methods are installed for the user?

One Input Language (English) and two keyboards. But I had him also try two
Input Languages (English and Greek), each with a single keyboard, and again
with two keyboards.

I can find no way to force the Language toolbar to appear. Therefore, he is
unable to switch between keyboards.

Thanks,
Gene

Well, does <Left alt + shift> switch the keyboard?

It should be easy to tell, they just have to start typing.

And does it happen in all applications?

Michael,

Thanks for your suggestion. I read it the day you posted it and queried the
customer. He has not responded to me, yet. Thanks anyway.

Regards,
Gene
