Did you try command option escape find finder in the table and then click relaunch? Might do it verses doing a whole restart of the machine. Although as to why it's tying up like that I don't know for sure or the change in those keys for volume. Just curious what devices do you have hooked to your machine? Printers, cameras etc? Sometimes what Apple considers as an unsupported device such as an external cd burner, can tie things up. On May 18, 2012, at 11:22 PM, Kristeen Hughes wrote:
