Somehow my apple pro keyboard volumes buttons now do odd things. Mute works as normal, but up and down don't. The volume is "stuck" about half way. If I press up or down once, it doesn't change. If I hold them nothing happens for a second and then the volumes jumps up or down a ton (to nearly max or nearly zero). Then if I press one of them again it jumps back to half way.

I have tried restarting the finder, but have not rebooted yet. Any ideas on what caused this or how to fix it?

- Chris

You don't happen to have a Quicksilver G4 do you?

Wow, man. May be it is because of the overclocking: it goes so fast that your hands are just too slow.

Stupidity aside, I don't have the faintest idea of what the cause of your problem might be. I should put my preferences folder in the trash (NOT EMPTYING) and create a new empty Preferences folder, log out and log in to see what happens.
