Toshibaによる公式の回答だが、
M200で見たところ、その通りの設定になっていて、解決にならなかった。変えて戻したりしても効果がなかった。


---------------------------------

ようやく英語版 Windows XP の Tablet で、日本語手入力(writing pad, character pad)を認識させることができたので、解決手順を残しておく。
下に引用しているが、機種は Toshiba Portege M200(M205)。
他にも同様の症状が出ている人がフォローしてきたが、解決手順は書かれていなかった。


- uninstall Recognizer Pack completely
- Control Panel - Regional and Language Options
- Languages
- uncheck "East Asian Language"
- Languages - Details
- change default input language to US English
- delete all installed services (keyboards) other than US English
(you might be required to restart to delete some of them)

- restart computer
- (you might have to delete some above)


- Install Recognizer Pack ALL LANGUAGES instead of selecting some languages.
- Control Panel - Regional and Language Options
- Language
- check "East Asian Language"
- Language - Details
- change default input language to US English
- Restart computer to apply
- Control Panel - Regional and Language Options - Language - Detail
- add the keyboard which you want to install
- Restart computer to apply

- change your default language and non-unicode language if you need

That's it.

You need to choose language of Writing Pad/Character Pad when you want to use the recognition function.

I do not know the minimal required setting. But I could achieve to activate the function via procedures above for your information.
