How do you get C-M-x to work on NTEmacs?

I assume this keyboard command means to press ctrl-esc-x all at the
same time, but that doesn't do anything but activate the start menu.

I believe it means
ctrl-alt-x

Yeah, um, thanks. I thought I'd unsuccessfully tried that, but
apparently I'd just unsuccessfully noticed it's success. ;)

Esc C-x also works ... (try with leading C-h k that explains the  
keyboard input)

No. 'ESC-' is not the same as 'M-'. 'M-' is a _modifier_ which 
accompanies other keypresses. For 'ESC-', you need to tap the 
escape key. After release you'll be in a mode such that if your 
next keypress is 'x', say, then it will be treated as if you 
had pressed 'M-x'.

So tap escape, 'ESC-' should appear in the minibuffer, and then 
press 'C-x'. That should then be treated as 'C-M-x' (which here
does nothing).

Alternatively, try using either the alt or the windows keys to 
see if they generate the 'M-' modifier.
