QWERTY Touch Keyboard problem

[fr0st]

I recently noticed that my on screen qwerty keyboard only shows numbers now and no letters. Here is a screenshot to show what I mean. The ABC is greyed out so I cannot enter any alpha characters to text someone back with out sliding out the full keyboard. Any help would be great. Thanks!

I am having a simular issue that is pissing me off....
When i use the touch keyboard it will only let me use numbers.... sometimes i can get it to display the compact qwerty but it will still only accept nubers as if i had held down the jey i was trying to press.... I changed back to old school IME so i could use the auto completion because i hate typing apostrophes and the like .... Anyone seeing this issue? and does anyone know the cause?

Yea I think the old school IME is causing this. Please if anyone has a solution to this or the settings to change it back let me know. TY

To undo the oldschool IME registry tweak reset the following registry values:

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

Thanks alot GoodThings2Life. That fixed my problem. I wish I could use that tweak but I would rather have QWERTY working for replying to texts.

What I do is to use the Input Control Panel to manually turn off the Word Completion and then set the keyboard itself to ABC instead of T9.

Frankly, I think T9 is the worst soft-keyboard idea EVER.

Yea I hate it. Ill set my options to what you use and see if I like it more.
