I have a regular English keyboard and all the Kana letters could be typed when I had XP installed but since Windows 7 I can't use RO letter that previously was mapped from the tilde (~) key. I tried to press all the keys one by one, then I tried to press all the keys one by one in combination with Shift and got all the letters working except the RO letter. I know Japanese keyboards have additional keys but my English one worked fine until now. When I press the tilde (~) key that must correspond to RO letter as illustrated on the following image: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/msdn/goglobal/keyboards/kbdJapan.htm IME switches from Kana to English or from English to Kana input depending on which one was set before the key was pressed but IME doesn't recognize it as RO letter like on Windows XP. Have you tried a regular English keyboard with Windows 7 and IME? Would like to know if it worked for you. Thank you. Thank you for response Gatunka.

I just tried it on my keyboard and it works fine. However, the key that produces "ろ" on my keyboard is the backslash key. Are you using a Japanese keyboard?

Tilde "~" key should be responsible for that but it just is not recognized by IME as a letter RO. Do you know by any chance why I can’t type in “ろ” letter on Windows 7 through IME?

It happens on a Japanese keyboard if you hit the Alt+カタカナ key combination. Just hit the same key combo to turn it back into romaji mode. Alternatively, you can look for the kana lock "KANA" button in the language bar. You might have to choose to "adjust position" from the context-menu first to make the full language bar appear.

I was wondering if you have experienced the issue where, when using the japanese text input, windows automatically treats input as though it were from a japanese layout keyboard? I was able to use the IME input system up till recently, but now when I type photically, kana come out that I don't want/intend to type. any help would be appreciated. this is a pretty neat explanation about how the IME works.
