MacPro locked up at Document/Finder

Forced to post with iPad-

The MacPro - Bluetooth Trackpad and keyboard function - but have no control to type on text document - or option to save or close.

No other applications can be selected - the entity of mouse is on the screen - but not allowed to touch anything.

Pressing random key makes the screen flash -

This happened about a year ago - but all those tips saved to file are not accessible at the moment.

I suspect something simple- but all I can get to come up pressing keys - is Front Row doing command / escape - then escape to close it.

I'd simple force it down - but I really want to be able to save all the work on simple document first.

If nothing else- it might be auto saved if forced to shut down.

Thanks

Figured this stumped the forum -

lucky - cinema display has option to restart with prompt to fly up-

Hitting Enter was only option - it restarted - all is fine.

But I'd be glad to know what glitch this is where mouse simply is not usable.

I removed batteries from TrackPad - made no difference.

The keyboard could scroll with arrow kets - select filess in open finder - quick look with Space Key -

But thats it.

Mouse can go anywhere- but is not recognized.
