    I have a little problem with my keyboard on my powerbook with the Caps Lock key. When they key is turned on and the light green when i type its in small case, but when the key is turned offed i type in capital cases. This is very annoyning. Is there anyway to reverse this back in regular position.
    Thanks,

    Many weird little quirks can be resolved with a restart. Try it

    hmmm sounds like something was started with caps lock on, and its default it caps lock off, so it reversed them... Try restarting

    I don't mean to be a dick here, but.....

    Repairing Permissions has no effect on whether or not keys type wrong.

    It seems to me that everyone's solution to any Mac problem is to repair permissions....

    Sorry if I rubbed someone the wrong way...its just a little annoying I guess.
