 Oddly it works now since my machine cratered and I
 had to install the OS from scratch...

 Somewhere along the way - in the OS updates etc. the function was
broken...
 My machine is setup the same way now that it was before the crash.. I am
 running the same apps etc..

FWIW, few would consider reinstalling the OS a solution to this problem, it
seems you had an unrelated reason for doing so. Also, what you've described
isn't really the problem we're experiencing.

Evoking Win-S is causing keyboard problems requiring a reboot in most cases.
It's not just one or two errant 'keystrokes', but a flash of 10 to 30
OS-evoked key commands causing window closures, taskbar property changes and
other desktop casualties (most may not think to check their trash folders
afterwards).

Hopefully these Win98-specific problems can be fixed. IANAP, but it seems
the gran mal starts in the keyboard hook. The OS must be getting these key
commands from somewhere, and I'm curious to know where the data is coming
from for these 'keystrokes'.

Neither Win-S nor any alternatives will enable focus on the DQSD
toolbar.

This subject has been discussed many times over many incarnations of
the toolbar but, in my case, without resolve.  I have now learnt to
live without this very useful feature, unfortunately.

FWIW - I was never been able to get the win-s thing to work..  I never
really bothered me because I never use it..and I thought I must be
mis-understanding what was supposed to happen.. One day I tried to get it
working and couldn't...  Oddly it works now since my machine cratered and I
had to install the OS from scratch...

Somewhere along the way - in the OS updates etc. the function was broken...
