    Thanks for this suggestion AndreTen. It's a partial Bingo. I removed all start-up programs and did a series of restarts, adding each in turn one by one. Only one of them was causing the dead-key problem.That's the good news. The bad news is the culprit. It is a very useful utility for me. I'll contact its creator. Maybe the fix is simple.So, a big thank you.

    *Thumbs Glad we could help.

    This is often a problem.. think we could use some standardization in this area. Every developer can think of his own rules...
