Every so often, with no warning, my computer acts up in a peculiar way: the entire keyboard is disabled, and clicking on taskbar buttons will cause a new window of that program to open rather than switching to the existing window.

At first I thought it was DOSbox, since I had been running DOSbox the first few times it happened, but now it's been happening on its own without DOSbox running at all. It started happening about a month ago when I moved to the new apartment.

Seriously, what the actual fuck is going on, and can it be fixed?

Actually, that could be. I got a new wireless keyboard recently, maybe either something gets stuck as you said, or the signal is being upfucked somehow. Is there a particular modifier key that does that with the taskbar?

Nope, StickyKeys is disabled, and so is its moronic shortcut combination that always fucks me up when I'm playing pinball games in DOSbox

I would have got a wired keyboard if they sold the things. But I wasn't able to find any, and at the time I needed one ASAP and couldn't wait for shipping from an online order.

Wireless mice look weird to me, too. Like, where's the tail?
