My letter t is corrupt when it appears at the end of certain words--really!

This is such a weird problem that none of the AppleCare people I've spoken to have ever heard of it before. As of a few days ago, when I type words that have the letter to at the end--simple words like that, next, what, at or best--the last t in the word turns into a symbol that looks like a cross. Here is an example:
tha† isn’t right
Look at the t at the end of the first word. As you can see it doesn't happen every time because isn't and right are fine. It's totally random. It also never happens at the beginning of a word, just the end. It happens in all apps, including Gmail, Word, Text Edit, Facebook, Mail, etc. I† happens in any font I use. As you can see, it just happened at the beginning of this sentence in the word It!
So far Apple has had me reinstall Snow Leopard and that did nothing. They had me switch to a different keyboard and that did nothing. On my own I went into System Preferences and set it up so that the cross symbol would be substituted by t and that doesn't work either.
The only thing that offers me a clue is that when we set up a new user account it didn't seem to happen in there, although I really haven't played with that enough yet to know if it's definitely not a problem in there. So it's very likely user-specific but I can't say for sure. Since I already  reinstalled the OS and it didn't go away I doubt that doing a clean erase and install would help either because this corruption seems to be in some file somewhere. I assume that if I start from scratch and do a backup from Time Machine the problem will follow me there too.
Does anyone have the slightest clue wha† is going on here and how I can fix this? Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated. It's totally annoying and bewildering!

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. The Adobe Staff and PRE_help presence in this forum is undefined.
    The replies from here are not instantaneous. But, your fellow users all try to respond as timely as possible.
    What is your computer operating system?
    From where are you downloading Premiere Elements 13....direct from Adobe as the tryout or the purchased product? If the purchased product, do you now have a purchased serial number to go with the installation files?
    Where are you stopped in the installation....at the Sign In or before? Is the faulting module cited in any messages? What are the error messages?
    The usual questions:
    1. Are you working with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you running the computer programs as administrator?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    5. Are you installing the program to the default location on the Local Disc C (if Windows).
    Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details that you post. Subsequent troubleshooting may include:
    deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and/or uninstall, free ccleaner run through, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • When i make a classic tween in flash all the object does is appear at the start of its course then suddenly appear at the end of its course

    so i am trying to create the usual basic balll bounce and for it to follow a motion path; i have followed everything the tutorial does exactly but when i click play the ball appears at the start of the guide then in the nothing until the last frame where it appears at the end of the guide

    Without seeing anything of what you did there is not much to go on except to say that when you create a classic tween you use a library-based object and it has to exist at both ends of the tween.  When motion guides come into play you usually have to fiddle around when making the link between the object and the motion guide to get the object to lock to it.

  • TS1702 In pages, when I get to the end of a line, the text refuses to start again in the left, it continues on the right and goes down the page, anyone know a solution?

    In pages, when I get to the end of a line, the text refuses to start again in the left, it continues on the right and goes down the page, anyone know a solution?

    Does this occur in all of your Pages documents? Are you certain that you haven't formatted the type to run flush right? (Align right I mean - sorry old typographer lingo). Look at the ruler at the top and check the Align setting.
    Have you tried quitting Pages completely and the restart the iPad?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • How do I  produce buttons that appear at the end of a motion background? Please Help!!!

    I just began working with my new production premuim CS3 suite and the current project that I am working on calls for buttons that appear right the end of the motion background. I have tryed everywhich way I can think of to import and export buttons that I thought I created in after effects. The video background works but when it get to the last frame of the video the buttons do not work. Please someone who has a bit more experience working with encore and after effects help.

    I down loaded the update for 4 and when I get to the end where is you click finish, it tells me to close firefox, but I do not have it open. Now I can not get in to Firefox at all. PLEASE Help.

    You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You should still have your profile folder, so when you install 3. you will get your bookmarks and other user data back.
    There is a third party version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • How do I download a movie on iTunes on my ipad, because when it gets to the end of the download it says download error tap to retry but when you retry it still doesn't work.

    How do I download a movie on iTunes on my ipad, because when it gets to the end of the download it says download error tap to retry but when you retry it still doesn't work.

    You can't if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Does the rental not show in the iPad's Videos app ? You shouldn't need to go via the iTunes store app.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
