A lot comment found to say problem regarding ATI video card, SCIM and Openoffice. Many guide such as reinstall Openoffice can solved problem. Some said this is not the problem with ATI video card and the simple way to solve is edit below file

/etc/openoffice/soffice.sh

Which just change:

OPENGL_SUPPORT=yes

to

OPENGL_SUPPORT=auto

A very simple and easy way of fixing.

After some time for consideration switch my workstation from XP to Ubuntu. I had been think the most my need all the day such as BT, Emule, avi, RMVB, etc.

Finally, I get it figure at Vmware and force myself install Ubuntu. Actually it was like a fate that I must install Ubuntu as my hdd file system accidentally replace by linux file system which my xp cant load :(

Well, Emule can install with below step

Open a terminal window and type in:
sudo apt-get install amule
killall gnome-panel

The second command refreshes the GNOME panel.

After that you can find aMule in the Gnome menu under Applications -> Internet.
