Can you remap the windows key operation to a function key? I don't even know
if that is possible
but it sounds reasonable, I think.

IBM 101-key click keyboard - no windoze keys. I'll have to look around
and see if I can scrounge up a spare windows-keyboard. Hate to give up
my good keyboard. I just love the feel of typing on this thing.
FWIW, it's been doing this maybe once or twice a month for years &
doesn't seem to be getting any worse.
On keyboards lacking a Windows key, Ctrl+Esc can be used instead.
You know, a cheap thing to try would be just getting a new keyboard. I
wouldn't put the keyboard itself at the top of the list of potential
culprits but it's worth a shot.
Current "plan" is to see if a new video card might do the trick (as you
suggested) and download a new mouse driver (per P.J.'s rogue DLL
suggestion).
I may have a spare windoze keyboard around here somewhere, and if I run
across it I'll give it a try. I don't think that's the problem though
because John Coyle's Ctrl+Esc does work to toggle the start menu when
it's not frozen and doesn't do anything when it is. I'd already tried it.
Other than that, I guess it's just something I'll have to live with
until this computer gets so old & decrepit it's no longer suitable to be
used as my "goofing-off-on-the-internet" computer.
