Accents on keyboard

I speak 4 languages so I use different accents all the time. Until recently, all I had to do was hold on the key for a second and then all the different accent options would pop up but now, when I hold a key, the letter just repeats. How do I fix this?

Start with this...


Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
