The most common cause of one key not working is that it has been set as the trigger for something, most often either Speech Recognition or Text to Speech. Double check the settings in your system preferences/speech.

Thanks Tom. I have checked the unIversal access settIngs and all of these are dIsabled so not the cause of the problem – Adam R Aug 14 '11 at 10:53
Tom, THANK YOU!!! I went back in to check for the tenth time that it was NOT a setting in universal access and I noticed the "speech" icon nearby on the basis of your post. In that menu there was indeed a setting for speech on use of the "i" key, even though the universal access settings were deactivated. I thought I was going mad trying to figure this one out. THANK YOU – Adam R Aug 14 '11 at 10:59
I bet Tom would appreciate an Accept for his answer... – JRobert Aug 14 '11 at 11:55
