For full screen games, I must use CTRL+ALT+DEL then start the task manager and close the game, as CTRL+Shift+ESC doesn't work.
This happens on any game from Microsoft Hearts to Civilization V (through Steam).
A restart usually fixes this issue. Non-games work fine, no issues with Firefox, WMP, Pidgin, etc.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? My attempts at Googling the issue bring up unrelated stuff (mostly unresponsive keyboards/mice). I have already tried reinstalling the drivers for my video card. A driver downgrade didn't seem to work either.
