ctrl + space activates language bar settings & not FARR

[BenRad]

I was messing around with my sound card and I've now somehow mapped the ctrl + space key combo to some sort of text recognition feature of Windows Vista (SP1). This happened once before and of course I didn't document the fix (it may have just fixed itself). Anyone run into this? I hit ctrl + space and Microsoft Anna says, "There is no text". I could use Alt + Space, but I don't want to.  Any ideas for remapping? I don't have the language bar running, and I've confirmed that all other languages are disabled and all text related assistance utilities are disabled too.

Thanks...

I had already checked all those settings. No luck. Somehow ctrl + space has been mapped to activate the narrator and I can't find a reference to it.

Any other ideas? Now the Narrator no longer says anything, Ctrl + Space doesn't work. I've confirmed that it's checked in the FARR settings.

Thanks.

I am experiencing the same problem where the ctrl-space mapping returns an annoying "There is no text" from the narrator. This is especially frustrating since ctrl-space is used in Eclipse for code completion. Were you able to find a solution? Thank you!

It had stopped for a while and then it started happening again. Do you use Logitech SetPoint on your system? I thought it might have something to do with that, but I'm not completely sure.

I finally figured this out (or found another post about it on another message board)...
I was using a Yahoo Widget called Month Calendar by Harry Whitfield. It was hijacking the ctrl + space keystroke. I went into the prefs and cleared it out and all is good.

Phew.
