Keyboar problems

Posted on 10/23/2009 3:37:08 AM PDT by 101voodoo

For the past 2weeks i have noticed significnt keyboard lag, wrds running together and letter drop when I type eitherin a documet or on aforum.

If you can read what precedes this sentence it will show you exactly what is happening.

I have a generic USB keyboard (Logitech) and have reinstaled the driver and the keyboard to no avail.

Any suggestions?

A keyboard often has a battery (a wireless keyboard always has one). Check the battery...when it begins to go, you will find that it drops letters and can’t keep up with your typing.

Throw the keyboard in a closet and shell out $30 for a new one. You can buy one for ten if you’re not picky. Keep the receipt, try it, either problem solved or you rule out the keyboard.

Keyboards are very cheap. Grab a new one.

Keyboards are dirt cheap.
I bought one a few months ago. I think it was about six bucks.
Always good to have a spare, anyway.

Its obvious you have the Ham virus.

Bake the computer on 350 for 10 minutes per pound then remove from the oven, baste with a mixture of brown sugar and butter, then return to the oven for five minutes.

Serve with creamed hard drive, and corn.

Your welcome in advance.

If your keyboard has a battery, replace it. Otherwise, stop by a local thrift store and buy one for about a dollar.

Try blowing compressed air between the keys. Try the 3-inch drop technique. Check the keyboard’s cable connection on the back of the computer. Try a different keyboard.

If it happens with a different keyboard, it’s *probably* software related.

Six bucks are you kidding me? No it’s at least seven. Maybe seven and a half.

Is anything else in your computer lagging behind? Like the mouse at times, or windows not opening as quickly as usual or programs taking a longer time to load?
