ESC key not working outside PS in Vista...

This haunts our users since we migrated to Vista. When Photoshop CS2/CS3 is running under Vista the ESCAPE key does not work correctly with other programs. When PS is running, the escape key works only when pressing SHIFT+ESC together. This is extremely annoying when multiple programs are used, what could be the root of the problem?

Thanks!

      Thanks for the Shift+Escape key suggestion and for pointing that it's related to Photoshop. Just googled "Escape key not working in Vista" and got this topic.
