I dont know if anyone has ever encountered this before, but I am having trouble with BezelUIServer. Here's the basic problem, every now and again it starts up automatically, and the image is displayed on the screen no matter what. The first time it happened, it increased the sound, and I couldn't do anything to decrease it, or mute it. The last 10 or 15 times it has happened, it will decrease the sound until it is muted. I turn it back up, it mutes it. The image is also displayed on the screen constantly.
Here's what I've done to try and fix the problem. First I find the process using terminal with the 'top' command, then I use 'sudo kill [pid]' and this does nothing. It reopens BezelUIServer, and mutes the sound again. After finding out this didn't work, I decided to delete the files in my system folders named 'BezelServices.plist'. Finder allowed me to delete them, and when I restart, sound works fine again, and the image is gone, although BezelUIServer is running again, and the system has recreated BezelServices.plist in two locations. After about 20-30 minutes, the problem occurs again, and I have to go through the same process. I've tried changing keyboards, that doesn't do anything. I've tried killing other process, that also doesn't do anything (at the moment, I can't remember what other process i've tried killing). Does anyone know what a possible long term solution for this might be? Thanks for any help you might have

stuck volume key?
What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

I wish, switching keyboards doesn't do anything, and it has been increase and decrease of volume before

Try making a new user and see if the problem comes back for the new user. If it doesn't, then move your files over to the new user and delete the old one.

If the problems still occur, then try reinstalling the operating system. Try archive and install first (will keep your settings and programs intact). If the archive and install doesn't work, then back up your files, and do an erase and install to reinstall the OS from scratch.
