I'm sorry I am not familiar with the first issue. But the second can be solved with a simple registry edit. Edit your registry as shown below. Soft reset and after soft reset always check registry to see if changes stuck. Cheers!

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409
Layout Text to "eT9 IME"
Ime File to "\windows\eT9ime.dll"

HKCR\CLSID\{73AB106C-A726-484b-B610-BE3E1CF39821}
(Default) = "XT9"
