I am at my wits end with my little problem.. I have a Japanese keyboard but at the installation I casually skipped selecting that. Now I use another layout. I have been googling for a long time how to change my current driver to a Japanese one but without success. I have found this explanation: ---- Stage 1 1. Navigate to Start->Control Panel->Keyboard 2. On the Hardware tab, click Properties (note that the current driver is probably "Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard") 3. On the Driver tab, click Update Driver... 4. The Hardware Update Wizard launches. When it asks if Windows can connect to Windows Update to search for software, select "No, not this time" and click Next 5. Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click Next 6. Select "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and click Next 7. Uncheck "Show compatible hardware" 8. Select "Japanese PS/2 Keyboard (106/109 Key)" from the manufacturer "(Standard keyboards)" and click Next 9. Click Yes to continue with the installation when the warning about installing incompatible device drivers appears 10. Click Yes to continue with the installation when the warning about replacing PS/2 mouse port drivers appears 11. Click Finish and reboot Stage 2 1. Click "Regional and language..." in C. Panel 2. In the languages tab check the "Install East Asian languages" then click "Details" 3. Click "Add" 4. Input Language = "English (US or UK)", Keyboard = "Japanese" 5. Close --- But my problem is that I don t have a "Japanese PS/2 Keyboard (106/109 Key)" in the list of standard keyboards but only one entry called "HID Keyboard Device" which is also currently used by the OS. There are other manufacturers with Japanese 109 listed. I tried one just to check if it works but it did not. Thought this was a minor thing to change but somehow it is more complicated ... sigh.. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks! PS: I used the same keyboard with my old PC and the same installation CD and it was working fine.
