Ok, I just did another restart and no good. I did find, though, that I can do things that don't involve both vo keys. I can open things, check things etc. So I went back to the system preferences (found them in applications) and when I checked the languages, Greek wasn't checked. I don't get it. If that's the input language that it's using now, how can it not be checked? Furthermore, how can I get to the status menu without hitting vo m? I could get sighted assistance, but I'll have to wait till tomorrow and I hate doing that. Is there some kind of cold reset I can do to get all the defaults back?
