what is ciceroulwnd frame?

Hi mldodd,

CiceroUIWndFrame is the programmer's name for one component of the
"Speech and Handwriting Recognition" part of Office XP from Microsoft.

A web search shows that this term is often reported in error messages
which appear when users are trying to shut down Outlook, other
applications or Windows XP itself.

"Recently, my system has been crashing more often, due to a process or
program "CiceroUIWndFrame." I found out that this is the "Speech and
Handwriting Recognition" part of Office XP. To de-install it, go to
"Control Panel" "Add/Remove Programs" "Microsoft Office," click on the
"Change" button
browse to "Office Shared Features," "Alternative User Input," and
select for Speech and Handwriting Recognition (both) "Not available"
from the drop-down box. Perform the change and the CiceroUIWndFrame
messages disappear.  Took just a second, and you don't even have to
restart your system or insert the XP Office CD."

Google Search Strategy:

ciceroulwnd frame
://www.google.com/search?q=ciceroulwnd+frame

This yielded no results, so I tried the search at Google Groups which
yielded one result:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ciceroulwnd%20frame

That gave me enough clues to start looking further using Google Web Search:

"application error" cicero
://www.google.com/search?q=%22application+error%22+cicero

frame "application error" "instruction at"
://www.google.com/search?q=frame+%22application+error%22+%22instruction+at%22

hwnd frame
://www.google.com/search?q=hwnd+frame

cicero "outlook express"
://www.google.com/search?q=cicero+%22outlook+express%22

Then it occurred to me that "UI" is programmer-speak for "User
Interface" and that the search term was likely misspelled. Fixing this
took me to some useful results:

It appears to be a type of frame whose formal name is misspelled.

Good answer. Now if you will excuse me I'll go wipe the egg of my face.   :)

This file, "CiceroUIWndFrame" had been annoying me off and on for
almost a year. Apparently it exists in Office XP, Office 2003, and
even Works! You need to completely disable the "Advanced text
services" in Works as well as the suggested fixes above for Office.
Why MS doesn't fix this issue is another question!
