First problem:: Mail..app "reply"" and "reply--all"" buttons don''t work...

Second problem (which you might have noticed already)), punctuation and some characters (like the space bar,, ), period and apostrophe)) type two at a time.. Well,, it doesn''t type two at a time,, as only one shows up until the next character is pressed.. Very odd,, a bit hard to explain,, but maybe from just looking at my post,, you''ll get it.. (btw,, I think NN strips the extra spaces that are between words..)

I did a user and network setting migration,, but no apps,, or "extra"" data.. I've run all the software updates,, even tried the combo updater,, repaired permissions. The only thing I've installed is the logitech mouse driver..

It''s
"hello""
(What the hell??)
(testing))

1. What do you mean they "don't work"? They don't do anything at all? Bring up a blank message?

2. Have you tried uninstalling the driver and/or trying it with another keyboard?

At any rate, with this many strange problems, it sounds like the install may not be quite right.

i'm also wondering if the mouse driver is somehow interferring with the keyboard.
are the mail buttons active? just not working?

i'd also try another keyboard, but...
if this is a new iMac, call apple!
