Hi,

You will also need the Japanese keyboard drivers.  See my web pages at
http://pat.japan.co.jp/jkeyb.htm and http://pat.japan.co.jp/jkeyb98.htm for
full info and driver files download.  (Mirrors at
http://www2.gol.com/users/pbw/jkeyb.htm and
http://www2.gol.com/users/pbw/jkeyb98.htm).

Good luck,
P@
