      Don't give up man. Install the Japanese keyboard language under advanced in keyboard settings, add it under details in the other tab, and make sure you can switch using ctrl+shift or something. It's not that hard. Maybe you can LEARN a little Japanese while you're at it. I'm making a text file that is a tutorial for all the japanese menus and stuff. Don't be discouraged. I had to figure all this stuff out myself, and I was pretty damn frustrated at times.

      Whenever I go online you're never on! I'm on from around 4:00 PM PST - 1:00 AM PST. What time zone you live in?

      It isn't THAT hard! Use babel fish to translate! All I did was enter the name that they use as an example! Then I translated it into the other kana and used it there! HOW HARD IS THAT? STOP RELYING ON OTHERS FOR THE SIMPLEST OF DECISIONS. It DOES require a brain to sign up!

      I was actually able to read most of the menus that didn't have too much kanji in them, thankfully

      OK. It's a bit complicated but I'll try to help you out. OK. First. We breathe in. Then we breathe out. If you have XP, go to Start, -> Control Panel -> Date, Time, Language, Regional options -> Regional and Language options -> Advanced Tab -> Check "10001 (MAC - Japanese)" and maybe 10002 and 10003, but I don't think those are mandatory. -> Languages tab -> Check "Install Files for East Asian languages -> Apply. You will probably be asked for an XP cd, so get one ready. After installing, back on the languages tab, click details. -> Add -> Under INPUT LANGUAGE, NOT KEYBOARD LAYOUT, BUT INPUT LANGUAGE, select Japanese. Hit Key settings, and then on switch between input languages, make sure there is some way to switch languages with the keyboard (e.g. Ctrl + Shift). Hit OK, hit ok again, restart if you need to, and start up PSO. When you get to the login screen, use the keyboard method of switching languages (Ctrl + Shift) and THEN you should be able to enter characters. If it doesn't work, try mashing the ctrl + shift buttons and the arrow keys until you see a little string of japanese characters appear on the left. It should work then. It should be noted that the characters will only appear when you are in a text-enterable area, such as the log-in box. Remember. Breathe in, breathe out. Post AIM SN if further assistance is needed. For 98 users, sorry I haven't figured out a way to get this to work for them. In fact, I installed XP solely for playing PSO.
