I guess I’ve said WTF for thousands times this morning.
一整個早上，我大概說了N次的WTF。

As usual, I turned on the computer this morning and was about to start the work today, but soon I realized that the Chinese IME was just GONE and the software I use everyday was like…… uninstalled. Communications with people in English was not a problem but those daily routines still required Chinese IME. Fortunately, besides the computer for daily routines, I have another computer for testing purpose and that’s why I figured out the solution for this issue pretty soon.
跟平常一樣，早上到公司之後，把電腦打開，準備開始上班；然後，沒多久我就發現，我的電腦很奇怪，怎麼一開啟某套每天在用的軟體，它竟然說正在安裝中，然後還說找不到什麼安裝檔的咧，然後，最機車的是，啊我的中文輸入法哩？怪哉！好在我還有另一台測試機可以上網找資料，很快地找到了答案，不然，今天工作肯定是做不完了。

So, how to fix the issue of “Missing Chinese IME"?
重點，所以中文輸入法一整個不見去要怎麼辦？

(A) Double-click the file named as “ctfmon.exe" which can be found here: “C:\Windows\System32\ctfmon.exe"
(B) Press “Windows Key" and type “regedit"
(C) “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", create a new entry of “ctfmon", and modify the value as " C:\Windows\System32\ctfmon.exe "

1. 找到ctfmon.exe這個檔，然後雙擊它，它的存放路徑如下："C:\Windows\System32\ctfmon.exe"
2. 按下鍵盤上的視窗鍵，然後再蒐尋欄裡面輸入regedit
3. “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"，找出這組機碼，然後新增一個字串叫做ctfmon.exe，把它的值改成：C:\Windows\System32\ctfmon.exe

The Chinese IME will work perfectly right after double-clicking the file. However, once the system is re-booted, the Chinese IME will be missing once again. Therefore, it’s necessary to modify the registry file so I won’t have to double-click “ctfmon.exe" every time I entered Windows.
其實，雙擊ctfmon.exe之後，中文輸入法就可以用了，但是，只要系統重新啟動，輸入法就，就，就又不見去了。所以，只好自己去修改登錄檔，把ctfmon.exe這個呼叫輸入法的指令，加到視窗系統啟動後自動執行的內容裡，這樣，才不用每次進Windows就要重新再雙擊ctfmon.exe叫出輸入法。

According to all information I got from internet, there could be 3 reasons which may cause this “Missing Chinese IME" issue.
(A) Virus attack
(B) System failures occured and Windows tried to repair them
(C) System optimization software did something wrong accidentally

I guess the answer is “3″ because I didn’t find any virus and there wasn’t any system failures either. That’s why I believe the answer is “3″. Which system optimization software is installed in my computer? Well, it’s Avira System Speedup. I hope it’s not the answer but I can’t find any other possibility. Usually, when issues like this happened, I’ll just re-install everything once again, while I have no time for this right now. So……maybe later when I upgrade my PC with the new CPU and the motherboard, I’ll re-install the whole system once again. Maybe……!

然後，根據網友們的說法，會出這種怪包，基本上是三種可能：
1. 電腦中鏢了
2. 系統出包，於是乎系統自己要修復錯誤，但修著修著就修出問題了
3. 系統優化軟體誤改設定，把輸入法給弄不見了

看來看去，我想答案應該是3。因為電腦既沒中鏢、也沒出包，但是有裝優化軟體！所以，問題應該是出在優化軟體上。以前，如有這種狀況，我一定會直接重灌，因為重灌是無敵的，因為重灌治百病啊。不過，剛好最近沒空，所以，就算了，改天有空再說吧，等要升級主板和CUP的時候，再一起處理好了。

Oh, and “WTF" actually means……not Welcome To Facebook……no no no, it means “Where To Find". Yes, “WTF the Chinese IME" exactly mens “Where to find the Chinese IME", sounds rational, doesn’t it?
對了，要講一下，"WTF"不是你心裡面想的"What The Fxxx"，沒錯，WTF其實是"Where To Find"啦，啊就中文輸入法不見去嘛，所以一直在碎唸"Where To find the Chinese IME"，聽起來很合理吧，嘿！所以是where to find喔，我沒有罵人喔！  🙂
