It sounds like Windows is intercepting the key and not passing it
to the application (or passing it as some other message-type
rather than a keyboard event). You might have some sort of
Thinkpad utility installed that allows you to change the behavior
globally so that it sends some recognizable sequence. Sadly, I'm
afraid that's not something Windows makes particularly easy to do
(though might be possible through some 3rd-party utility) if it's
even possible at all.
