    Randomly the keyboard switches to Chinese and I don't know how I am doing it, or how to undo it. Can anyone please help?

    Keyboard layout switch is usually LEFT ALT+SHIFT, or LEFT CTRL+SHIFT.

    You could also remove entirely the Chinese language from the Control Panel (it was possible in XP, I hope it is for Vista, too).

    You can get rid of it completely in vista. Control Panel>Regional and Language Options>Keyboards and Languages>Change Keyboards. From there, you can either select Chinese in the general tab to remove the language from the system, select the way the language bar appears in the Language Bar tab, and change the key bindings for switching between languages in the Advanced Key Settings tab. I wanted Chinese completely gone from my system, so I got rid of it, hide the language bar, and made no key sequences to change anything.

    Thank you.

    I clicked on Chinese and clicked Remove. Now English is the only language remaining. Hopefully this annoyance doesn't come back.
