Hola, Alberto

Try this -

- go to Control Panel, Regional and Language Options
- click on Keyboards and Languages tab
- press Change Keyboards button - the "Text Services and Input Languages"
panel will appear.
- does Spanish appear in teh list of Installed Services? If not, click Add.
- the "Add Input language" panel appears.
- scroll dowen to your desired variety of Spanish (eg "Spanish (Mexico)",
"Spanish (Spain)", etc.
- click on the small cross-in-a-square symbol, to expand the language
branches
- click on the small cross-in-a-square symbol next to Keyboard
- select the Spanish Keyboard
- now click the OK button, you are returned to Text Services and Input
Languages, General.
- move Spanish up or down, in list of installed languages, if desired.
- click on the "Language Bar" tab
- make sure Language Bar is enabled; either Floating on Desktop, or Docked
in the Taskbar.
- click on OK to exit Text Services and Input Languages.
- click on OK to exit Regional and Language Options.

Your Spanish keyboard should now be ready for use, in the Language Bar.

Does that get Spanish enabled, on your system?

Hasta luego
