SYMPTOMS

A PS/2-style 106/109-key Japanese keyboard may appear in Device Manager as a "PC/AT Enhanced PS/2 Keyboard (101/102-Key)" keyboard.

This behavior occurs because Windows 2000 detects the keyboard incorrectly. However, the keyboard should still function correctly.

This issue occurs in Advanced Power Management (APM) mode only. It does not occur in Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) mode.
