I'm having a weird problem with my mac IIx various keys - in particular o and sometimes v, arbitrarily start repeating when pressed once other keys like shift, option and cloverleaf appear to be stuck periodically. Replacing the keyboard does not help switching the adb port apparently cleared it up for a few days, but the problem is now back. Periodically, the problem disappears. I have tried rebuilding the system and replacing the finder twice. Once the problem went away, the second time it did not. Disinfectant 2.4 and virus detective 4.0.3 report no problems This problem appeared since installing System 6.0.7 and 32-bit-quickdraw, though not immediately after Incidentally, I had deleted Geneva 10,14 from the system, now on re-installing them, they show up under font/da mover but hypercard 2.0 complains that I don't have them installed and excel and other program displays also suggest that they are not there I have the following inits Gatekeeper & Gatekeeper Aid Quickeys 1.1 Truetype Deskwriter 2.1 Maxapplezoom2.1 32 bit quickdraw moire your help will be appreciated

Both machines have different memory configurations and software installed. The only thing in common is 1> They are both IIsi's 2>They are both running system 6.0.7 When the problem occurs, the Keycaps DA will reveal random keeps "STUCK" down. It must be some bug in system 6.0.7. Does ANYONE know what the heck causes this? I thought it might be Easy Access, but even if it's deleted, it re-occurs...
