NJStar Chinese Pen
HOWTO: enable NJStar Communicator and Chinese Pen in Norton 360
Norton 360 tries to provide you with 360 degrees of protection. It means that Norton 360 wants to protect everything. This has caused lots of software not to function correctly, including NJStar Communicator and Chinese Pen. In order for NJStar to input Chinese, Japanese or Korean text into any windows, NJStar HAS to hook the keyboard. But norton thinks it is a key logger, so NJStar IME and Pen are blocked by default.
To enable the proper use of NJStar Communicator and Chinese Pen when Norton 360 is installed, please goto Norton 360's Eavesdropping Protection Settings page, and Unblock/Allow all NJStar related files, such as
- InputEasy.dll for NJStar Chinese Pen.
- NJSIME.exe for NJStar Chinese Input in NJStar Communicator.
- NJJIME.exe for NJStar Japanese Input in NJStar Communicator.
- NJKIME.exe for NJStar Korean Input in NJStar Communicator.
Can I use a graphics tablet for NJStar Chinese Pen?
Yes, NJStar Chinese Pen supports any Pen Tablet as long as it works like a computer mouse.
We have tested WACOM Bamboo tablet. It works perfectly in Windows XP without changing any setting.
On Windows Vista, the deault Pen mode does not work well with NJStar. You need to change Pen Tacking from Pen Mode to Mouse Mode in the 'Pen Tablet Settings' of the Vista Control Panel, and turn off the mouse acceleration. as shown on the following screenshot.
NJStar IME or Chinese Pen can not start /input under SpywareDoctor
It has been confirmed that an AntiSpyware program such as SpywareDoctor can BLOCK an application from starting if the application hooks the keyboard. This is a good idea for anti-spyware but it can create trouble when trusted application (such as NJStar CJK IME and NJStar Chinese Pen) is blocked. NJStar has to hook the keyboard in order to input CJK txt into any windows. To allow NJStar IME or NJStar Chinese Pen to start under SpywareDoctor, in Keylogger Guard, please add NJSIME.exe, NJJIME.exe, NJKIME.exe and InputEasy.dll as shown in the picture below.
When above is done, NJStar IME can start and input into any windows except Internet Explorer. This is because SpywareDoctor blocks any program from hooking the Internet Explorer using an IE Browser Helper Object (iesdpb.dll) under Browser Guard function. This Browser Helper Object is running when ever IE is running, even when SpywareDoctor has been closed. The solution is to uninstall the SpywareDoctor or manually remove the SpywareDoctor Browser Helper Object by deleting the following registry key using REGEDIT.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
\Browser Helper Objects\{B56A7D7D-6927-48C8-A975-17DF180C71AC}
