You are using a non-Unicode program, and such a program requires the default
system locale (cf: http://i18nwithvb.com/win2k.htm) to be Japanese.
Word and IE are Unicode programs so this change is not required there.

The IME is built into Windows 2000, you do not need extra downloads for it.
You can simply add it to the list of input locales.
