First, try deleting Finder prefs ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Are there third-party processes or add-ons installed on your system that are invoked when the contextual menu comes up using ctl+click/right click? If so, try trashing or moving them and see what happens.
Does this just happen in Finder, in all apps, or just in specific apps?
Does it do it only within your login or in other login accounts as well? -
April 1 is still a ways off, right??

Any idea how long the battery was clipped to the card rack at RadioShack?
I suspect they may not refresh that stock too often.
When you’re done for the day/week, and if you “Shut Down,” do you then physically disconnect your Mac from AC power (kill a plug strip switch, a breaker, unplug it from the wall, switch off a UPS)? The battery is not one that gets charged, but my understanding (though I could have a mis-understanding) is that if the machine is not plugged in to active AC mains, the logic board is always drawing current from the battery (to retain memory for certain settings), but not so if it is plugged in, even when the computer has been powered off via Shut Down. If this is what’s happening, battery life will be greatly shortened. -
Entering your error message into SEARCH at apple.com/support brings up this document:
“Disk First Aid: What to do when it finds an error”
“Message: Keys Out of Order
Disk First Aid reports “Keys Out of Order”.
Meaning :B-tree records or referenced records have become damaged.”This sounds like directory or file corruption, which may not necessarily be due to physical damage to the disk itself.
Backup first. Then, if Disk First Aid can’t repair this, try Disk Warrior.
You also have your media drive pretty well filled up to the margin of safety, so don’t try writing more media to it at this point. -
It is called quantizing error. Comes with the Digital Video territory. Has since the beginning. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

[Jerry Hofmann] “QT for Windows is a free download guy… they can use it for free. QT 7 on a PC will play H.264 files…”
Many corporate IT will not allow Quicktime on their equipment, free or not, it’s just an unfortunate fact.
Company I used to work for forbade it citing “instability” and “security” concerns. And, it came from Apple, so it must be evil. 🙂 -

[rymyjo] “I have been told to reinstall Compressor and ditch my FCP preferences, but doing neither of these has helped.”
and
…I do not have FC to reinstall. I bought the computer from someone with it already installed.”So how could you reinstall Compressor if you don’t have the FCP HD install disk?
