Microsoft Office Outlook Connector 12.1 Beta 2 Crashes Thai Language Input in Outlook 2007

It's been more than a year since I last blogged. I've been busy with work and also don't know what to blog. Here comes my new findings:

Microsoft Office Outlook Connector 12.1 Beta 2 + Outlook 2007 + Thai Language Input = CRASH

This has also been proven here.

I downloaded the Outlook Connector the other night for improved supports to Windows Live Hotmail -- only to find that whenever I start typing e-mails in Thai, i.e., hit the "language switch" key Outlook simply crashes!

I googled for "outlook 2007 crash language switch" this morning and find someone having the same Outlook Connector insta.led and the same problem as mine. So, Outlook Connector is most likely the cause of trouble.

I uninstalled Outlook Connector this morning and, yes, typing in Thai doesn't crash Outlook 2007 anymore!

Over six months later, and this problem is still there.

Switch to Thai language, and Outlook dies.

It's not only Thai, it's French as well. I am pretty surprised that I would be able to find people with the same problem.

Same here. It seems like Outlook Connector causes Outlook to crash when switching keyboard input languages using shortcut like grave accent. I've heard that using Alt+Shift to switch language will not make Outlook crash. Personally, I manually click at the language bar to change language. The workaround works, but it just sucks when you accidentally use grave accent out of habit.

Thank you, Knight. Outlook 2007 crashes again today and I'm following your advice!
