Hello I'm new, but here's my problem:

I am using a Microsoft Basic Keyboard 1.0A

Whenever I press the [CTRL] button twice in succession, the keyboard locks up and all the lights flash. I have to press [ESCAPE] to unlock it. Does anyone know what would cause this?

I have a feeling it's a hardware or driver feature. Can someone shed some light on how to disable this feature? Very annoying when trying to play Half-life, or even copy + paste functions too.

hhhmm have you played around in the control panel>keyboard settings

i recall a locking option in there

No there's no option there, just 2 tabs. one lets me adjust the cursor blink rate and key repeats, the other is hardware tab which doesn't help either.
