Win7 thinks im using shortcuts, bug?

Quite often when i come out of a locked screen windows 7 thinks im using a shortcut of some kind, when i go to type all sorts of windows pop up minimize/maximise etc, only locking/unlocking the screen again stops it, though perhaps its the sidewider x4 keyboard, any idea what's wrong?

Anyone?

If you suspect it's your keyboard, swap it out to prove it. Might just be a stuck Shift or Alt key.

I disabled them a long time ago and nothings changed, i did notice the windows key was disabled in the x4 settings, even though it still worked as a lock screen shortcut i've enabled it now, all it does is pop up the start menu so i don't get why they had it off.

when this happens to me I press Right CTRL, Context, Windows Button, Right Alt, Left Alt, Windows Button, Left CTRL.. then in the reverse order then bach them all together and it fixes it
