In my original response, besides asking about your hardware, I also asked about certain keystroke combinations - Ctrl-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. But I included them in angle brackets as is customary. Your response back to me (above) looks like your Hotmail entirely deleted the parts inside the angle brackets leaving only "F1" and "Backspace". Anyway, how about those keystrokes when your machine freezes? Are they frozen out also or do they function?
