For Some reason when ever I am confronted with the login screen I have to use a third party keyboard to type my password

If I summon the Login Window or set my computer to not login automatically I hear a sound effect (like a cricket chirping) and I can't type my login password.

I figured it was sticky keys but the key combo to toggle that doesn't seem to do anything.

I can login from the screen saver but not the default window.

---The Story---

This first happened when i got 10.8 via ***** and I wrote it off as my fault for using a beta release to play with a new toy (this was the golden master leak).

A few weeks pass and I decide to buy a legit copy of mountain-lion and use it for a reinstall no effect.

Two Days ago i tried it again this time wiping my hard drive and reinstalling from a time machine backup.

Still no love.
