I believe there are hotkeys for turning on various a11y key features. If you do something like hit SHIFT five times, this turns on StickyKeys. You might check your System->Preferences->Keyboard and make sure that such a11y features haven't been enabled by accident. Also the Keyboard Accessibility Status applet is useful for seeing visually if you accidently turned on/off a feature like this. If you have a tendancy to accidently do things like tap the SHIFT key, this can help you notice when. Brian
