As for writing the kanji, you just turn on hiragana. You will type in romaji, the computer will turn it into hiragana. Once you finish the word, press the spacebar and the computer will transform the kana into kanji. However, there are different yomi for kanji, and a lot of kanji share yomi, so make sure you have the right kanji. Generally, the program is smart enough to pick it up.
I don't know about the older versions, but for vista the IME Pad lets you draw the kanji to get the yomi in kana. It's a very simple tool that has simplified typing in Japanese. Check it out.
Japanese computer keyboard is the same as any other ones with alphabets and numbers. Japanese uses one other way of writing charactors call, "Roma-ji". It uses English alphabets, like ABC. If you want to write Kanji, you simply type whatever the word you want to write with Roma-Ji and hit space bar, then the computer will give you the options of Kanji charactors or in Hiragana and you pick the right one from it. For example, if you want to write Tokyo in Kanji or Hiragana, you just need to type Tokyo in Roma-ji and hit space bar. If yo want to type "Book" in Kanji or Hiragana, you type Hon(It's the Japanese word for Book). Of course, you need to know how to read the Japanese word and which one is the right one, on top of that, you need the Japanese language software such as, Ichitaro installed on your computer. Hope this helps!
It's called an IME, Input Method Editor. It takes the spelling of the sound of the word in our alphabet and converts it to Japanese symbols (kanji).
Their keyboards look just like your keyboard or any other keyboard, except they have Japanese keys that go along with it and special input methods:

you must first learn how to jutsu..
but seriously go into your language option in control panel and set up your computer for the langauge.
The keyboard looks just like ours. They type in Romanji (roman english letters) the hiragana or katakana will show up and then once you hit the spacebar at the end of a sentence kanji will replace words that can be written in kanji. you can also go back and select kanji that may be the improper one that you intended to use
ex. 鑺便€€榧汇€€娲熴€€绔€€濉欍€€
all锛濄伅銇?(hana)
you would choose from the list which one you intended to use
