Try disabling starup items in System Prefs/Users. Also look in Universal Access for a Q setting I lost my '!' for a while and found some obscure app/system item had reserved the ! as a secret command key.

Anyway my online friends sent me a few !!!!!!!! as a backup. I simply copied and posted them from their emails - so heres a Queue of Qs: (Oops I hit appleCmd-Q then instead of Shift-Q just then! Haha)

Greetings weekend wamuggers, I have a new intel imac
with 10.4.6 that does not under any circumstances want
to type a capital q (ie shift q) under any
circumstances. Stumped as to know what to do, as there
are a few items I need a capital q in. (in mail and
browsers)

Any suggestions?

Thanks
