Won't type the "plus" sign or the underscore

Hey all,

So my comp won't type the "plus" sign or the underscore. Shift works with all the other keys, but not those two. I can type = and -, but shift doesn't work with these keys. I can also type ± and — which are "shift alt" and ≠ which is "option =" It's just the underscore and plus sign that won't show up.

My language is set to English but sometimes I use Spanish as well.

This problem is not software specific either, it won't type those two characters in any program, be it word processing, browser, or instant messaging.

Restarting fixes the problem but eventually my ability to type these two characters vanishes.

Help?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.5)
