Ctrl-Alt-letter keys may be preempted by the OS, or they may trigger a menu.

When you type
:verbose set wak?

what is the answer?

Oh, and 7.3.046 is already old hat: for W32 I recommend the "Vim without
Cream" distribution, available as gvim-<version>.exe (a self-installer,
currently for 7.3.289) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/
