[X-Newbies] Key Board Errors

[Thomas J. Fobia]

Malcolm,
If your machine has been "On" for a few days you might want to do a  
"restart" and Zap the P-ram. Simply go to Apple>Restart then hold down  
the option, command, "P" and "R" keys until you hear 2 or 3 "chimes",  
then release. This works for most problems. Also you can try going to  
"Utilities"> boot up "Disk Utility" and then select "Repair  
Permissions". Good Luck!
