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 keyboard and and realized that all of the  
letters, numbers, spacebar, and caps lock keys do not work.  Now  
before you say hardware, it is not hardware related.  I have a test  
account and 9 out of 10 times I can log into this account and  
everything works as expected. If I log into my own account first, then  
I can't use the MBP's keyboard to log into any other account.  Now the  
weird part is the external keyboard works perfectly and is not  
affected by whatever the hell is going on.  I tried an archive and  
install with no success, I have booted from another Leopard disk and  
it works fine, I even just did the upgrade to 10.5.8, and this had no  
affect on my issue.  I believe there is some software that is causing  
the problem, but I have not located anything that has not already been  
there and this is a new issue.  If anyone has any thoughts, it would  
be appreciated.  I only installed an upgrade to Dragon Burn and a  
trial of Cocktail, which I removed, but do not believe this is the  
issue.  I also did install a copy of ABBYY FineReader and I could  
certainly remove from my system, but again, I don't think this is the  
problem.  There is something being loaded when I log into the system  
and seems to have an impact system-wide in that I have to login  
first.  I could easily rebuild the system, but would prefer to avoid  
doing this if at all possible or I'm going to have to run out and find  
a firewire 800 drive.  Migrating all of my data would be such a  
painful process since it would take quite a while. :)

THanks,
