  I have a friend with OIDS, and while we were playing it, the same thing
happened to us.  I quickly figured out (well...mostly remembered from the
warning) that if you use the shift key as one of your controls, Easy Access
will turn on and lock keys down.  If you hit the <shift> key 5 times
consecutively, Easy Access activates.  Then any key you hit 2 times in a row
will "lock".  Personally I hate Easy Access, and haven't used it since I
figured out what it was.  If you've cheked into this, then I have no idea
what's wrong, 'cause once we deactivated E.A., no more problems were to be had.
