Installing MS Korean IME
I recently received my birthday gift from my parents. They gave me a Sony Vaio CS laptop. Since it’s new and I’m not used to Vista, I don’t know how to install the Korean IME. I searched the web for tutorials and I found several ones. Anyway, for those who are having the same problem as mine, here’s the steps for Vista:
- Click Start button.
- Choose Control Panel.
- Click the “Clock, Language, and Region” option.
- Under the Regional and Language Options, select Change keyboards or other input methods.
- This will open the Keyboard and Languages tab in the Regional and Language Options dialog box. You then need to click the Change Keyboards… button.
- Another dialog box will open. Now it’s time to add Korean IME so click the Add… button.
- You would then see the Add Input Language dialog box. Scroll down until you see the Korean entry. Expand it and select Korean and Microsoft IME.
- Then click the OK button.
- It will now add a “Korean” entry under “Installed services”.
- Finally click the OK button.
I hope you find my post useful. I really enjoyed doing the screenshots for the tutorial.

Why do you need to select BOTH Korean and Microsoft IME? What happens when you select one or the other?
Hi Court. I’m not so sure about it. I just followed some instructions on how to set-up the Korean IME on Vista. If I find anything about it, I’ll surely tell you.
tyring to figure out hot to install Korean IME on Windows 7.
Can anyone tell/ show me how it can be done?
Thanks upfron!

Hi Kevin. I’m not sure how to set-up the Korean IME for Windows 7. Try doing the tutorial for Windows Vista, it might work. If you still can’t I might ask my sister to do a tutorial for you.
How do you get the IME? I set everything up but it will not work…I type and it comes out in english letters. Could it me the fact that I am using an American keyboard?
Hi Kayla,
Sorry for the delayed response. If you installed the IME as I have instructed, you can type easily in Korean by following my two other tutorials:
Typing in Hangeul Part 1
Typing in Hangeul Part 2
If you still encounter some problems or if you have some more questions, feel free to leave a comment here.
Thanks for the visit. ^^
