Who's Cicero and Why Is He Clogging Up My Computer?
Remove CiceroUIWndFrame to avoid crashes
Windows, while being shutdown after yet another hung Outlook session, reported that it was having trouble getting rid of the CiceroUIWndFrame. So who’s Cicero, aside from a famed first century B.C. orator and political casualty? Apparently, in the Windows universe, Cicero is part of the speach and handwriting recognition system in MS Office. Also apparently, I’m far from the only one to run into trouble with it (as can be seen).
I’ve been suffering many hung Outlook sessions while using wireless lately. I’ll get rid of the handwriting and speach stuff as I’m not very likely to use it. I doubt this’ll fix all my troubles, they’ve appeared too many and too varied to be easily blamed on one little piece of ancillary software.
For what it’s worth, I find Outlook much more reliable when I work “offline” over wireless connection periodically send/receiving to stay in sync.
