[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1515403, member: 38864"] Try resetting PRAM. It stores some settings related to the keyboard. If that doesn't fix it, then we need to rule this out as a system-wide problem vs a user account problem. Create new user and see if the problems persist. If the problems do persist, then we'll come back to that. If you don't have the problems in the new user account, then you need to start a process of elimination. Make a backup copy of your user Library folder, then delete an entire folder at a time. Start with the Preferences folder; log out and back in; then see if the problem is solved. If it is solved, then we know something in the folder is the culprit. Restore the original folder and from there refine the process of elimination. Batch delete a handful of files from the folder at a time, restoring after the same testing process as before, until you find the "batch" that has the buggy one. Then repeat the process for individual files in that batch. Bear in mind that there could be a hidden file that is the culprit, so make sure you have invisible showing as you start the weeding process. [/QUOTE]
