Well, I guess it just goes to show that maybe starting at the very
simplest thing and gradually working up to a reinstall makes more
sense. :) I took a mid-size hammer to a smaller problem. :) Well
hey, at least I learned something new today and thanks.

I got bit by it as well. I reinstalled Leopard and the whole works.
It was only a year later that I figured out what it was.

Hey Esther, Barry was right and having mouse keys on without realizing
it really did cause the problem. What is really interesting is that
upon first booting the machine, I could log into my account and the
mouse keys of course were on, so sure enough things behaved oddly or
as they shoul
Hey thanks, I sure did and I was about ready to go to some really
extreme actions, but luckily the answer was presented and saved me a
load of work. However, what is really curious is that mouse keys
obviously persist from the first user to all subsequent users it
seems. That just doesn'
Wow, yeah, I was really considering this, but Barry pointed out mouse
keys and thankfully it was that simple. I don't know why this didn't
occur to me, but well this is really my first notebook since all my
previous Macs have ben desktops. So, I learned something new. :)

Well Barry I'll b damned, that was exactly the issue. Huh, well that
is really curious because it never occurred to me to check this to be
honest since I just didn't make that connection between the usb and
laptop keyboard. Of course I also stumped the Apple folks as
well. :) Funny, I c
Hi Scott,
Barry's explanation that you might have mouse keys turned on seems
plausible. I tried an experiment where I connected an external
keyboard to the USB port of my MacBook and pressed the ALT/Option key
5 times. That had the weird side effect of enabling mouse keys on my
laptop key

System preferences.

Sounds like you have mouse keys turned on. Try hitting the option
five times. You can also turn them off in universal access/mouse and
trackpad.
Sorry if you've all ready tried this, but that's sure what it sounds
like so I decided to mention it in case you haven't.

Try renameing your Library folder to Library.save and see if that
solves the issue. Library has your preference settings, your Mail
items and lots of other sutff. Depending on your patience and how much
your system goes nuts, you could either duplicate the Library and then
start taking out
All, I posted this to another list and must have stumped the
geniuses. First let me explain my setup. I have one of the new
MacBook Pro 15-inch models. I generally use an external keyboard
since I don't always need my machine for portable purposes. The other
day I tried using the MBP's
