Key combo ctrl + c oddity

[Deadly]

I had a few people over the other night that was playing NBA jams or some type of basketball game.

The kept having the screen go black. I would do an ALT+TAB two or three times and the game would show back up. The game doesn't utilize 7 buttons but his thumb would hit the C key while he was using the ctrl key for action which would cause this.

This key combo is obviously a windows hotkey for copying.

I looked through the GameEx manual and see no reference to this key combo. I also looked at my IPAC 4 and there is nothing specified by default or otherwise for this combination either.

So, is there anything I can do to stop this?

Would disabling the desktop cure that? "some of the PC games I have wouldn't work right with that option."

I'm not in front of my cab so I thought I'd troll for some ideas.

Thanks

I had lots of problems with various programs and using my minipac with it's default setup for mame... the ctrl and alt keys where causing mayhem with lots of other programs so I ended up changing the default controls to just use standard letter keys and then it was just a matter of changing the default controls in mames setup screen
