Guest Johnny Muskrat Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 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: http://www.acer.co.jp/support/faq/desktop/key/kbd_j106.zip 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.
