SYMPTOMS
If you press CTRL+ESC while running a PowerPoint slide show (to switch to or start another application), the taskbar may seem to stop responding. Clicking available shortcuts has no effect.



CAUSE
This situation may occur if you release ESC at a particular moment after you release the CTRL key. If you release the ESC key first, or if you use the Windows key on the Microsoft Natural Keyboard to access the taskbar, the problem does not occur.



RESOLUTION
To regain access to your program icons, press the ESC key again.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95.
