bugs

Probably not worth a full entry but I had a hard time finding a solution to this bug.

Problem: While using PowerPoint, text entry into a text box crashed the program. And crashed it every time and as soon as a single letter is typed. Very problematic.

Turns out it's a Bootcamp 3.1 issue so if you're not dual-booting on Apple hardware, probably not an issue.

Solution:

  1. Go to Control Panel
  2. Select "Change keyboards or other input methods" under "Clock, Language, & Region" heading
  3. Select "Change keyboards..."
  4. Select "Add" button
  5. Scroll to "English (United States)" then "Keyboard", then "US"
  6. Select "US"
  7. "Okay" your way back.
