Consider the following scenario. On a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista, you use a non-English Input Method Editor (IME) in an application that contains edit controls and button controls. For example, you use the Japanese IME. An edit control uses the IME for input context. In this scenario, when you switch the focus between the edit control and a button control, the focus switch occurs very slowly.

Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) may not display tooltip text correctly if the text contains both alphabetical characters and Japanese characters.

Consider the following scenario:

• You have a computer that is running a Japanese version of Windows Server 2008 or of Windows Vista. Or, you have the Japanese language pack installed on a computer that is running an English version of Windows Server 2008 or of Windows Vista.
• On this computer, you use the Group Policy Management Editor to edit a Group Policy object.

In this scenario, the following Group Policy setting is localized incorrectly:

User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection\Documents

Specifically, “Documents” is localized as “?????????.” This localized phrase means “Recently used files.”

This article describes an update package for Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) in Windows Vista. This package uses the postal code information that was released in September 2007 to update the Japanese postal code dictionary. The update information is based on data that is published by Japan Post and by the Ministry of Public Management in Japan.

Consider the following scenario:

• You have the 2007 Microsoft Office system installed on a computer that is running the Korean or Japanese version of Windows Vista.
• You try to insert a chart in a 2007 Office document. For example, you try to do this in a Microsoft Office Word 2007 document.

In this scenario, Microsoft Office Excel 2007 starts automatically. When you exit Excel 2007 and return to the original program, the Input Method Editor (IME) language bar disappears. Therefore, you cannot input anything other than English-language characters.
