dotnet windows forms : SendKeys doesn't send

I'm writing an app that sends keystrokes to another app using
SendKeys.SendWait(). On some computers some of the time, the call to
SendWait() doesn't work. After it's called, the receiving application
is sitting there focused and ready to receive the keystrokes (if I
press keys, they work) but the keys never come and the sending app
blocks infinitely. Like I said it's only on some computers and even on
those computers it's only every now and again. There isn't any
difference between the computers that it works on and those it doesn't
that I can think of. Does anyone now why this is happening?

I am having the exact same problem and I narrowed it down to newer Dell
Laptops but from there I can see any difference between how they are setup
and how other systems are setup.
