Key combinatiosn causing blackscreen using IPAC4 and Windows XP - MAME

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before. The computer is running Windows XP and an IPAC 4. Player 1/2/3 all have happs competitive joysticks for four cherry switches and player 1/2 have six buttons. Player 3 has four buttons. When Player 1/2/3 are playing a MAME game some type of key combination is pressed and the screen goes black. MAME is still running behind the scenes but I can't get it to come back into focus. I can CTRL ALT DEL and then end task on MAME.exe but explorer then doesn't come back. I usually have to do a restart.
I haven't started digging to deeply into this but is this a key combination that's causing Windows XP to freak or is MAME freaking? I'm using the default IPAC4 key configuration. Should I use a custom one? What keys specifically should I change?

I'm trying to think what caused that with me, it was something with player one and player three causing me issues. *thinks* I think alt tab causes a hiccup, or was it alt enter?
