Another odd Problem
Macbeast - 2/10/08 at 08:38 AM

Hoping someone can suggest what has happened -

When I type in certain on-line applications, at normal speed, characters are frequently dropped - as if either a buffer is overflowing or something is momentarily blocking the keyboard input.

o itcn ook soming like ts

Internal applications are fine - Word etc, and no problem in here or in Hotmail but others such as BT/Yahoo e-mail and DatingDirect (yes I know , sad or what but the 15-year relationship is over and somebody else is screwing her ) have this
very irritating problem.I can really only use e-mail by composing in Word and pasting into mail when there is no problem at all.

I'm sure BT mail was ok until about a month ago but have run Spyware Adaware and Virus check. Just occured to me that maybe the common factor is the applications that work are the ones where you compose internally and then post; and the ones that don't are the ones where the keyboard is connected to the remote server ?

Any suggestions ( and addresses of really desperate ladies ) welcome

HMM
teting typing stengtping is it ay better?no

Repeat delay is 3/4 from long to short
repeat rate is nearly at slow
Cursor blink rate is nearly at none.

It's Vista so control panel may be different - my keyboard settings dont say "typing" just "speed"
