OK. Ready?

Right Click 'My Computer'
Properties
Hardware
Device Manager
Expand 'Keyboards'
Double Click existing keyboard
Driver tab
Update Driver
Check the 'Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)
Next
Check 'Don't Search. I will choose the driver to install'
Next
Uncheck 'Show compatible hardware'
You'll now have two lists side by side.
Select the 'Standard Keyboards' from the box on the left.
In the box on the right scroll (probably up) to 'Japanese PS/2 Keyboard
(106/109 Key)'
follow the rest of the instructions

All of the above assumes that you installed 'Install files for East Asian
Languages' either on initial WinXP install or under the 'Regional and
Language Options' in the Control Panel.

I recommend deleting the US keyboard settings - they only get in the way.

This works for me every time. (hope I haven't made any mistakes above)
