I'm assuming you're using something similar to how most Japanese computers work, where you type in Western characters and a program converts them to their hiragana equivalent.

If you're using Windows XP or something, go to control panel, go to date, time, language whatever, go to add other languages, click details under the text services and input languages, click the add button, and select Japanese.

i think~

I type the western characters and it automatically converts to Hiragana; Katakana characters have assigned keys for me
