HELP! I don't know what's wrong with my keyboard or whatever it is... I used to be able to type Japanese, like, when I pressed the button "k" and "a", it will give me the word "か", but now the words "の" and "ち" show up instead. Did I do something wrong to the setting again? lol

Thanks! I'm still working on it. Meanwhile I use the other computer to type :D

I believe that you have possibly found the reason: the word "KANA" of the button located at the bottom right-hand side of the "Microsoft JP input method" must NOT be clicked, i.e., the word "KANA" is in WHITE font color.　If the button is clicked, the word will show in BLUE font color, and the keyboard location is then completely mixed up (the worst thing is that I could not locate any button that opens a virtual keyboard, which shows the location of the rearranged JP alphabets).　I realized the matter some hours ago when I was trying to help my family type something in JP through the computer in the Windows platform.　Good weekend.
