I was hoping some of you guys could help me out with this.


The other day I left my Macbook pro for a few hours and when I came back and opened it again, the keyboard could only type in a wierd symbol language (Looked almost like ancient greek User uploaded file ) - The only way to write English letters was to keep the CAPS LOCK key turned on.


I opened the keyboard viewer - and this was what it showed: User uploaded file


(No screenshot available sry)


Furthermore, when I open my computer at startup - I have to press a HD symbol to access the mac.


I may have pushed some shortcut button by accident, but I really can't recall.


Do you folks have any clue as to what might be the problem?


Thanks alot!
