    your post needs at lot more info, for this fool anyway.  :)

    are you referring to keyboard shortcuts?
    or do you have some program called Hotkeys?
    is the middle paragraph the actual error message?

      AutoHotkey is a fantastic free and open source Microsoft Windows tool that allows you to create macros, scripts, and automate frequently performed tasks on your computer. For example, Computer Hope uses this tool daily to help answer common questions asked in e-mail quickly and perform other common repetitive tasks. Below are just a few examples of what AutoHotkey is capable of doing.

      you may be right Geek, but I'm not convinced even that is what John is referring to...

      @john, perhaps a screenshot will be more explanatory.
      I take it the PC still boots to Windows and you can use it fine?
      Have you installed new software recently, or changed some system setting?
      and feel free to elaborate as much as possible.  ;)

        @John,
        if it is MWSnap3 and you don't require its screen capturing capabilities then go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and remove it.

          The best thing to do with a Used PC is a wipe and clean install of Windows...after backing up what you may need...
