"Greater than" symbol (>) not working in Leopard

I can't input the > symbol on my keyboard. I have a Core 2 Duo MacBook with Leopard. This symbol should come by shift+< but it's not. I reseted all the operating system keyboard shortcuts but no luck. Any suggestions?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5)

Good morning,

I'm afraid I am not able to reproduce this issue, have you tried doing a repair of your permissions lately to see if that helps?

Hope this helps! 

Thank you for the quick answer!
However, repairing disk permissions did not help. I'm thinking some program might be using the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+<, but when I press it nothing happens. Is there a way to reset ALL shortcuts for all progams?

If a third party application has mapped its own keyboard shortcuts, I do not know of any universal way to reset those.

What you might consider doing is loading up Activity Monitor and killing off any other applications running aside from the normal operating system components and see if you can use the shortcut keys normally at that point.

Hope this helps! 
