WHEN I TYPE INTO MY COMPUTER WHICH AS WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION THE LETTERS APPEAR VERY SLOWLY AS I TYPE. I HAVE TRIED TO PERFORM A REPAIR BY RE-INSTALLING MY ORIGINAL XP INSTALLATION DISK BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. MY NEXT STEP IS TO RE-INITIALIZE MY COMPUTER'S HARD DRIVE BUT BEFORE I GO THRU ALL OF THAT WORK I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF ANYONE ELSE HAS FIXED THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT ALL THAT WORK INVOLVING RE-INSTALLATION OF ALL OF THE SOFTWARE ON MY COMPUTER.SCOTTCF 1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi. Can you post a picture of your Computer statistics? Go to Task Manager, Performance and take a copy of that screen. Also, save a copy of your system information (in Control Panel) and post it on the Web. These 2 will help diagnose the problem.

Hi Scott, I have received your files. I checked them and I saw nothing unusual, your PC has plenty of free memory and the CPU seems to be idle most of the time. You also have a fairly low number of processes running. So, on the surface at least your PC seems to be OK. Now we need to explore what is happening under the hood. If you are willing to work with me, we'll find the solution. Is the keyboard slow in all applications you use? Try running a command prompt, Start, Run, CMD. Type something and see if it is slow. Let me know. Next, right click on Start / Run / and enter MSCONFIG.exe. Select Diagnostic Startup and click OK. Reboot and see if the problem with the keyboard is still there. If it is not, it would indicate that some loaded software is causing the problem. We'll do the next step after you tell me the result. Cheers
