Japanese Keyboard in English XP

I was able to get a Japanese 106 keyboard to work in an English version of
WinXP. I went to Acer's website and found common support issue with
keyboards not working properly. They have a registry patch available for
download. The support page is as follows and it is in Japanese:
http://www.acer.co.jp/support/faq/desktop/desktop061201001.html

Here is a direct link to the file in the event you don't read Japanese:

You must reboot after installation.

Here is the contents of the registry patch:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters]
"LayerDriver JPN"="kbd106.dll"
"LayerDriver KOR"="kbd101a.dll"
"OverrideKeyboardType"=dword:00000007
"OverrideKeyboardSubtype"=dword:00000000
"OverrideKeyboardIdentifier"="PCAT_106KEY"
"PollingIterations"=dword:00002ee0
"PollingIterationsMaximum"=dword:00002ee0
"ResendIterations"=dword:00000003

You may want to print off the registry values before running the patch. Use
the "Run" function and run "regedit" and follow the path shown above.
