[QUOTE="janusoo, post: 718219, member: 64569"] Sorry, a little slow. The bit about using an external JIS keyboard WAS what you found in the Japanese help pages. I tried using an external USB JIS keyboard and it didn't work, however. Vista still thinks they're laid out in the English keyboard format, so the punctuation is in the wrong place and I have to use the language bar to change input methods rather than the built in keys. QUITE frustrating, though I guess I can work with it for now until a better solution comes up. blind typing the punctuation sucks though. I tried this with an old Mac Pro keyboard, the new slim aluminum type and a generic IBM compatible keybaord. None of them worked. [/QUOTE]
