I hate resurrecting 1-year threads like this but I'm at a loss at what to do; this topic is closely tied with my issue though. I work in development, so having a properly working keyboard, with all symbols like pipes and backslashes available (I work for a Japanese company and use Cygwin and, more recently, virtualized Linux) is especially important. Heck, even Windows makes frequent use of backslashes for file paths. (Since Japanese keyboards are relatively rare, I've been using my older PS/2 keyboard with my system at home just fine. The system at work here only has USB connections and I've had to resort to using a PS/2 to USB dongle; not the best solution I'm sure). I am able to use of my keys (in both Kana and English modes) by following the instructions above, but certain keys, like the "pipe/backslash" key or "underscore/hiragana 'ro'" will not type anything on my XP system, in either mode. Any ideas?
