[QUOTE="jenniferg, post: 322284, member: 26897"] [b]More Data on Spacebar Problem[/b] Thanks for the suggestions. I searched the computer last night and it appears that I do not have usboverdrivex installed. (I do have USB Device Extension, USB Print Extension, USB Software Locator and USB Apple Monitor Module installed.) I had the following options checked in the Universal access Keyboard System Preferences panel: Sticky= Off Beep when a modifier key is set = Checked Display pressed keys on screen = Checked slow keys = off Use click key sounds = Checked Acceptance Delay = Set in the middle. I unchecked all of the checked items; left sticky key and slow keys off, and didn't touch acceptance delay, all to no avail. Additionally, I reverted to OS 9 and started the machine, but the spacebar still did not work. Safari unexpectedly quits upon startup, especially if I move to the window quickly. It is annoying, but I'm not sure it is the cause of the problem. Any other thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. JDW [/QUOTE]
