Maybe. I have a system running the same OS Version, and I don't have either an application in the Applications folder or that component, but it does pop up when I select "Show Keyboard Viewer" from the menu bar icon, once I enabled it. Using Activity monitor I found that the application package is actually here: /System/Library/Input Methods/KeyboardViewer.app I suspect the references to the /System/Library/Components location may be from an older version of the OS? It's in /System/Library/Input methods in 10.7 as well, and /System/Library/Components doesn't have the KeyboardViewer.component bundle, either. Since your Finder is looking someplace else I suspect it's confused. Before you go to the hassle of re-installing your OS or the application, create a new user on your Mac and see if that user CAN use the KeyboardViewer. If so the problem lies somewhere in your user preferences and re-installing the OS will do no good. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
