-Finally, let go of the ALT key.

This works regardless of whether Num Lock is on, but you have to use the numeric keypad. I use that for special characters (particularly °, ALT-0176) frequently - it beats looking them up in Character Map.



If you just kill the task while Windows is running, it might not work - you should try taking it out of startup alltogether. A handy utility for disabling such things is Autoruns from http://www.sysinternals.com .
Ack, don't change your avatar like that. Very confusing!

I can't see using Alt-92 for much more than a character on a command line. If it was actually used in-game, that could be a bit tough.

If the safe mode startup works, then I'll look at what I need to disable. I'll keep Autoruns in mind.
