Hi,

I just did a clean install of my operating system (10.3.9) and software, and now my shift key doesnèt seem to work properly in any applications (word, mail, firefox)

Capitals come through, but quotation marks donèt ÈÈÈÈ

question mark ÉÉÉÉÉ

greater than """""""

less than ''''''''

square brackets donèt work on their own ^^^^^^^

actually, itès all the punctuation keys that seem screwy, with the exception of commas and periods.

Any ideas what is up with my computerÉ ibook G4

many thanks!

Odd indeed. According to Apple, occasionally the user permissions associated with files or applications become damaged, which can prevent a file or application from working as it should. See this article. So, you might want to try to run Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility). Open the application, select the mounted volume for your hard drive and click "repair disk permissions."
