    Very interesting indeed.
    I thought it was external to BFBC2, but it always goes away when I quit the game.

    I am not running any other monitoring utilities that I know of and this is on my laptop. I _think_ that the characters are chinese and when the box pops up, hitting the direction key will change the character in the box. Alt-Enter will go back to fullscreen, but as soon as I hit any key (except the mouse) that box pops right back up and ruins the game. I usually have to quit the game and restart to make it go away. I actually got to play single player for an hour last night and it never popped up...

    No, but I was thinking the same train of thought when I first saw it. I think you may be on to something though.

    Couple of things that may help, this is not the steam version, rather retail. I am also running Windows 7 pro.

    Are you running pidgin or some other multichat program?

    Nope.

    I was playing around after the Sharks game last night (what a rush that was!) and found the magical key combo to make it go away. It is not the same as the one that makes it show up though.

    If I hold the right and left mouse buttons and then press CTRL+SPACE it goes away and restores the game to full screen. Got in some quality single player time last night too.

    This still has me puzzled, so I did some searching and turned up the above post. It does sound like it could be related.

    Damn that is close to what I am seeing. I don't have the EN on the task bar though. I have the laptop next to me and I am going to fire it up and look for the language setting to check it. Funny that this only happens in BFBC2 but I may not realize it happens in other program because I have not used that key combo otherwise...

    Dude!

    It looks like you nailed it!

    In the control panel settings for language under the Keyboards and languages tab hit the Change keyboard button, then under the advanced key settings, there is an option for Chinese IME toggle. I am going to disable it and see if I still get the problem...

    Thanks! If this works I can now finish single player and then try multi!

    +rep!


    EDIT: My initial testing looks promising. I have to head home and later tonight I will try in game a little more to verify.

    Thanks again!
