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. :)
