[QUOTE="mymacpro, post: 1233532, member: 201148"] Hi again, I can't actually believe that I'm going to post on a public forum what a complete moron I am but figured you never know, one day it might help someone who is as big a dumb-*** as me. My life has been in complete turmoil for nearly 24 hours because... I didn't notice that on my keyboard, the right side shift key button was stuck down and therefor pressed constantly. This is the reason for only starting in safe mode, only typing capitals and most of the other errors. The other keyboard and mouse I tried were non apple and to be honest were very old so maybe my mac just didnt recognise them at all. Anyway, I picked up my keyboard, turned it upside down, gave it a bash and the key popped back in to its normal position. I restarted, and hey presto, no safe mode and back to normal. Nearly everything is fine again except that I still can't remove seoquake and when i visit any website, link text appears to be crossed out, for example, where it says my user name to the left of my post, mymacpro, for me, that text has a line through it, but these problems existed before my big "crash". Anyway, sorry for wasting your time and thanks for the replies. I'll crawl back under my rock now. [/QUOTE]
