When I installed Win xp English on my Japanese Toshiba laptop, it installed
the keyboard as a 101/102 button standard keyboard when in fact it has a
106/109 button Japanese keyboard. How can I fix this issue? It&s not a matter
of region/language settings.

How to set up a Japanese Keyboard on an English Windows XP computer

Note:
Part 1: Installing the Japanese keyboard driver.

4. Click (to uncheck) “show compatible hardware
5. Scroll up and choose the Japanese PS/2 Keyboard (106/109 Key). Hit next
and install driver. Will require a restart.
- Choose the keyboard Manufacturer(Toshiba) on the left pane first

You might look at this Google Groups search for a solution.. this is
really a hardware issue:

You'll probably need a conversion driver, but I had a thought (dangerous
for me to think).. A program that lets you remap the keys could make
the conversion.

THANKS!! Now, it's working almost perfectly. I say almost because the button
to the left of backspace(far right, top row) types \ instead of yen mark. How
can I fix that?

If you look at a standard keyboard (mine) that is the position of the "\"
key. Left of the backspace key. You mean it should type Yen?
