STEP 1.) Go to the Control Panel of Windows and select "Regional Options", double click it to open it.
STEP 2.) At the "General" tab, go to the "Language settings for the system" section and scroll down to select "Japanese". NOTE: Do NOT change the language settings for the current USER, as that will also change your currency and other settings.
STEP 3.) Click on "Apply", to apply the settings. DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW AND DO NOT REBOOT YET. The system will ask you for the Windows 2000 installation disk if the files are not already installed.
STEP 4.) Now click on "Set default..." NOTE: The "Japanese" option will not appear here if you have not yet apply the changes from Step 2 to 3!
STEP 5.) At the "Select System Locale" dialog box drop down, select "Japanese" as the appropriate locale.
STEP 6.) Click OK to close this box, Click OK to save the Region settings and NOW, REBOOT THE SYSTEM. -------------------------------------- Now we are ready to start seting up the typing

STEP 4.) Choose Japanese from the drop-down menu and click OK.
STEP 5.) Click "Key Setting" That opens up Advanced Key Settings. Look in the Action part you'll see list of languages saying "Switch to ...." Here is where you assign a *specific* command to instantly switch to the languages you want.
STEP 6.) Click on "Switch to Japanese ...." to select it, then click "Change Key Sequence".
STEP 7.) Assign a combination you like.
STEP 8.) Press OK all the way out and test it. you should see your language bar on the buttom right changing (in my case I have Thai language too) Now to switch the Japanese input mode. STEP 9.) Select the key combination you have assigned in STEP 7 for Japanese and switch input mode. You'll notice a capital A in it. If you don't see it, try drag your mouse to extend the language bar to the left. That "A" tells you that if you type anything right now, you'll ended up having ordinary english aphabets.
STEP 10.) To toggle the mode to input japanese character, press ALT+grave (the top left button in your keyboard which has ~ with it). On some keyboards, the key to toggle is maybe ALT+. (period). The toggle should allow you to see the "A" change into a japanese letter. ("ah" in Japanese) This will allow you to type in Japanese. Now to test the configuration.
STEP 11.) Open a text editor and input Japanese by typing Romaji. NOTE: It may become necessary to repeat step 9 through 10 again if Japanese hiragana does not appear.
STEP 12.) At the text editor, try it out by typing "kari". You will get a hiragana letter saying kari with an underline beneath it. The underline is a unique function for japanese input system. it indicates the letters are still active.
STEP 13a.) To finish typing, simply press Enter and the underline will be gone. You will have "kari" in hiragana.
STEP 13b.) To convert the hiragana into Kanji/Katakana don't press enter yet. Instead press Spacebar. Pressing spacebar once will convert the character in to the default kanji or katakana. Pressing the spacebar again a list will appear to allow you to choose the correct character. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select the character you want.

World of Warcraft expansion shatters record = Wrath of the Lich King
Online gamers, bow before the king
According to developer Blizzard, the recently released World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King sold over 2.8 million copies in its first 24 hours of availability, making it the single fastest selling PC game in history.
In an official statement, Blizzard CEO and co founder Mike Morhaime expressed thanks.
"We're grateful for the incredible support that players around the world have continued to show for World of Warcraft," he said. "Wrath of the Lich King contains some of the best content we've created for the game so far, and we look forward to seeing even more players log in to experience it in the days ahead."
He didn't, however, express much surprise. That's because the second fastest selling PC game of all time is none other than the first World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade, which sold through roughly 2.4 million copies in its opening day.
Those numbers are just as stunning as they look. To give some context, it took EA's chart-topping evolutionary simulation Spore a good three weeks to hit the two million mark. And with 11 million active Warcraft subscribers out there, expect more records to be broken before the year is over.

Report lists ten games to keep away from your kids.
The video game industry can breathe a sigh of relief. It won't have to hide its report card anymore.
The National Institute on Media and the Family, a conservative media watchdog group that has repeatedly criticized the game industry for failing to adequately warn families about inappropriate content, issued its 13th annual video game report card on Tuesday. And for the first time, the industry got nearly straight A's, receiving high marks in its ratings system and retail policies.
"This year the industry has improved its ratings enforcement and given parents new tools when choosing the right video game for their child," said NIMF president David Walsh. "That's a significant step in the right direction."
Significant is right. As recently as 2005, the NIMF gave the Entertainment Software Ratings Board a resounding "F."
The NIMF still points out one problem-spot: parents. This year's report gave parents an 'Incomplete' for not paying enough attention to ratings and failing to use parental controls built into game consoles.
To remedy the situation, the NIMF has red-flagged ten violent games concerned parents should keep away from the under-17 crowd this holiday, citing excessive bloodshed and brutality:
Blitz: The League II
Dead Space
Fallout 3
Far Cry 2
Gears of War 2
Legendary
Left 4 Dead
Resistance 2
Saints Row 2
Silent Hill: Homecoming
Notably, all ten are already rated M for Mature, so for once the industry and the watchdog are in agreement. On the flipside, the NIMF recommends these Teen-rated alternatives:
Guitar Hero World Tour
Rock Band 2
Rock Revolution
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
Shaun White Snowboarding
