Does this happen for every key?  Or just for some of them?  What does 
``Win95 takes control of the program'' mean?  Can you post a small 
program that exhibits this behavior, or at least tell what the program 
does?

Most probably, Quake installs its own keyboard interrup handler, like 
every decent game out there.
