The shortcut/accelerator Alt-F4 recently stopped working on my
computer (XP, SP2). It's the strangest thing, I press the key
combinations and nothing happens. Crtl-F4 doesn't appear to work,
either. As far as I can tell, however, all of the other keys/key-
combos work okay. (That said, I don't use many other f-key
shortcuts).
I recently brought my home computer to work and set it up here with a
different keyboard, a Dell/Logitech RT7D10. I've tried installing the
Dell hotkeys support (which actives the media buttons, but doesn't
solve the F-key issues). I also went out an got a standard MSFT PS/2
keyboard, no luck there either. I get the sense that some of these
keyboards have an F-lock feature that disables the function keys, but
I don't see and hardware support for that with this keyboard (no F-
lock key). I suppose that could be software supported, however.
Any ideas here? I never realized how much I used Alt-F4 until I lost
it.
