Re: Help please! Japanese keyboard

Hi Karenc,

For installing japanese and oriental languages
1) Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages,
Supplemental Language Support > Install files for East Asian
Languages.

2) Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages >
Details >
Default Input Language.

You'd better create a Restore point to come back to in case something
goes wrong.

Good luck

thanks Roger

sorry, i was away for a few days so didn't get to try this. i did as you suggested, but when i tried to set my default input language it didn't offer "japanese keyboard" as an option (in the list of asian languages presented). if you have any further suggestions it would be really appreciated

Check this site:
