Hey, so had the attached thing happen to me during an event that required precise timing and healing which locked me out of being able to do anything XD sucks. Found out this can happen when pressing the Windows key and the Tab key, but I don't know, was doing something weirder than that cause I couldn't get back into the game at all, kept happening even when I'd press ANY key on the keyboard, anyone know how to disable this from happening at all on a Windows 7?

In response to the below post, yes :P I'm in New Zealand so I'm in your future.

I have no helpful advice, but I have to ask: Are you FROM THE FUTURE?

You probably alt-tabbed, but if you did press the windows key then yeah that would do it.
Sometimes you have to repeatedly switch back and forth between windows if NWN locks up after alt-tabbing. Try right clicking on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen and clicking "Show the Desktop" to minimize all windows, and only then alt-tab back to NWN. (I often find that alt-tabbing back to NWN works better than clicking on it in the taskbar when this happens to me.)

Anyway, if you want to disable the windows key, here you go:

It was worse than an alt tab, anything I did kept cycling through my active windows, repeatedly, couldn't do anything for 1-2 minutes. I'll try the link and see how it goes.

Easyfix download link doesn't appear to be working, sends me to a How to use easyfix page with no pop-up dialogue or anything for the autorun program, and the manual option doesn't match what's in my regedit thing, there's no "Add Value" thing showing up when I click Edit after selecting the correct folder...
