    These instructions relate to Windows XP only (I'll see if I can dig out others).

    1. From the start menu select Settings->Control Panel.

    2. Select Regional and Language Options (will have a picture of a globe).

    3. Select the second tab called "Languages" and click on "Install files for East Asian languages".

    4. Click the "Details..." button.

    5. Click the Add button.

    6. Select input language "Korean". Take the default "Korean Input System (IME 2002)" for IME.

    7. Click Ok, then Click Ok again.

    You should now have an "EN" showing on your task bar. You can toggle to Korean input by pressing ALT(left one)+SHIFT. The EN should change to KO now. You can switch back to English by ALT-SHIFT again.

    However... You may or may not have the additional options showing. Right click on the KO and check on "Additional Icons in Taskbar". This should display the extra icons.

    These will be "A" and a Hanja symbol. Pressing the ALT GR (right Alt) it will change the "A" to a "가". Your keyboard is now switched to input Korean. Press ALT GR to switch back.

    The korean keyboard layout is here, which you can print out.

    There is also a MS one (which only works in IE).

    Somewhere in the language bar there should be an option for Soft Keyboard, which shows the layout and all you have to do is click it in. More convenient than memorizing the keyboard layout or having to keep looking back and forth.

    Don't see it in XP. There is IME pad, which allows you to write using the mouse. Very slow to use though (although a bit faster when you don't know the keys).

    Actually I see soft keyboard built into the IME pad. But it is for Japanese only. Also has.

    - Dictionary (Chinese)
    - Speech (JA)
    - Hand Writing (KO + JA)
    - Character list (JA)
    - Strokes (JA)
    - Radical (JA)
