Lock Up when going to windows
« on: October 15, 2003, 08:04:05 PM »
Pressed the "Windows" key on my Dell keyboard...

Hard lock up.

Nothing got me out. (Alt F-4, CTL-ALT-DEL, Alt- ESC).

Had to turn off cpu.

1.9 Gig Intel Pentium 4
512 megs Ram
DirectX 9
Nvidia GE Force 3 Ti 200 64 Megs
Windows XP

I tried the same thing, had to use alt f4 to get out. alt tab wouldn't get me to my desktop either but at least it didn't lock up hitting alt tab again restored game.

Same problem for me, locked up when I inadvertantly hit the windows button on the keyboard.  Locked up, no way out except a reset.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.
