Not exactly sure what you're trying to do in Finder--all I get when I use apple-i in Finder is the information for the desktop. The preference windows never show up when you call for information (that's the apple-i command). The place to find (and change) your preferences for the mouse and keyboard would be in the system preferences (Blue apple in the upper left corner of the screen > System preferences > Keyboard and Mouse). I don't think there is a key command that would take you straight into preferences--at least I've never heard of one.
I see. It's not really a Finder issue, it's a system preferences issue. Are any of the other preferences malfunctioning?
I don't think it's a conflict with an application. I think that a file has become corrupted. Try this:
1) Reboot your computer from the OS installation disk (insert the disk, then restart your computer while holding the "c" key down until you see the grey start-up screen).
2) Select your language and the installer window will appear. Up on top of the screen will be six menus: Installer, File, Edit, Utilities, and Window.
3) Select the Utilities menu, then select Disk Utility.
4) In the left-hand column in Disk Utility, you will see several computer files, one of which will be the name of your hard drive. Select your hard drive.
5) On the right-hand side of Disk Utility, you will see four buttons: Verify Disk Permissions, Repair Disk Permissions, Verify Disk, and Repair Disk. Click Repair Disk Permissions.
6) Once Repair Disk Permissions is done, click Repair Disk.
Once Repair Disk is done, quit Disk Utilities and Installer, restart your computer and try to access the Mouse and Keyboard preferences. If that still doesn't work, you have two options: reinstall the OS or take the computer into a repair shop, where they will probably reinstall the OS and charge you $50 US for doing so.
