Yesterday I was having some problems getting 10.6.8 to load up and function properly. Today when I'm typing in firefox or openoffice or text app barely after a few words typing the keys randomly go into 'special character mode' so instead of normal letters I get √¬∈∪₰₦⊕ etc. I don't know a way to stop this happening, so every time it happens I have to restart the macbook, which is getting extremely frustrating every 2 mins. (In addition to this, the 0 key brings up the right mouse button when pressed, the 'fn' key is working as the shift key, and the left shift key doesn't do anything). Very bizarre. Help required please. Thanks.
