BTW I'm running a MBP dual core.
  

  
  

  
  
  1. Have you tried repairing permissions (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility)
  
  2. Resetting your PRAM and NRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379)

  Mike- thanks for the reply!
  
  1) I can't get into permissions since the keyboard/trackpad is frozen
  
  2) I tried resetting the PRAM and NRAM without any luck.
  
  Thanks for the suggestions though!
  
  Any other thoughts?

  Try running Disk Utility from the OS X installation disc. Your keyboard should work there.

  Thanks Doug... I actually wound up just reinstalling OS X and everything worked perfectly after that. May not have been the best solution but as long as everything works, I'll take it!
  
  Thanks for the help!
