Does it pop up the windows "Find File" dialog?  This happens to me when
I hit the Start key, then alt-tab back into Quake.  Seems like Win95
doesn't handle the Start key right (surprise), and leaves the keyboard
in a funny state.  The only fix I have is to hit Start again and use
the mouse to click somewhere on the desktop (removing the Start menu). 
Then I yank the Start key off the keyboard with a paperclip.
