I believe I have figured out my problem. I did format the other day and
when I went to MS Downloads, I installed SP3 , but it said it was for
professionals,etc. However, in doing some back research on this after I
re-formatted for again this morning, that's when I noticed it.
The other day, I did do as you mentioned below by going to the Language
Options and did that, but it was still messed up but not with the cftmon
problem. So in formatting again this morning, I only downloaded the SP2....
and I haven't had any problems with it. Not only that, but I also learned
something else, unknown to me, I put in the search bar there :: Microsoft
Windows XP Home, SP2, and naturally they give you several to choose from. But
what I did was clicked on Windows XP Home SP2, ( I believe I'm saying this
right) and I got all sorts of trojans, spyware, malware - so much so I had
to format again)... If you do NOT have Microsoft in front of what you are
downloading, I am afraid others will might do the same thing. So much for
bad luck. It's probably best if one will download and save these
downloads to your desk top, then put them on a CD, at least you will have them
should you have to format again.

I have a Dell 8400 running Windows XP with SP3, also running free Avast
Anti-virus and Zone Alarm with 2 GB's of 2048 Ram. About a week ago I had
to
format, and for some unknown reason, this ctfmon.exe constantly appears
in my start up. It didn't do this at first, but now it does. I have
taken
it off again and again but it will not stay off. In the above article it
says that is an MS Office product which I have NOT installed any of them.
The instructions Google gave in getting rid of it does not help... since
I
can't find in the Control Panel where it was installed, cause I certainly
didn't install anything Office. Harriet

<<The ctfmon.exe that I know and love (to get rid of) usually appears
after a
fresh install of XP. For reasons I do not understand, it does not appear on
all installs (at least that I've done) but that may be due to different
install configurations on my part. In any case it seems to be attached to
the keyboard settings. Make sure that in "Control Panel/Regional and
Language Options/Languages/Details/Advanced" that "Turn off advanced text
services" is checked. Also make sure that in "Control Panel/Regional and
Language Options/Languages/Details/Settings" that there is only one
instance
of a keyboard shown.
