Exclamation Ctrl + Alt + Del

For some reason pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL stop functioning with this computer. I'm using XP, and I noticed since this computer is used for interpreting it uses a weird keyboard with some special characters, and two languages are set up that I can switch between. I rember a while ago it worked. Any suggestions as to why it can not be functioning?

Thanks,

Suggest you check the functioning of each key individually first. I had a dead del key on a Gateway keyboard last year. Obviously, c-a-d didn't work for me either. You also might uninstall the keyboard in device manager and reboot. The system will find it again and assign a driver. Also, check the keyboard settings in control panel.

Each of the 3 keys are functioning properly. I have just uninstalled the driver and let Windows automatically detect the keyboard (for which I got HP PS2 Keyboard eventhough I'm using a generic "altrix" one, but I guess this is normal?) Well anyways, I tried messing in language settings but no luck. I'm running out of ideas.

Microsoft is trying to take over ! Seriously tho, did you try contacting HP about it? Did you try both sets of alt-ctrl-delete?
