Guest just plain rob Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Greetings, On my child's computer, one of the kids were apparently goofing with the Accessibility Control Panel and it got to the point where every key stroke--such as in a text document--took a 2-second press. I undid that setting and typing is fine. Except for log-in. Now, to log in requires they need to hold each key, to a 2 to 3 second count. Sometimes the log-in box does not respond at all. Is her SAM file corrupt? If so, can I remove that thing? I have added users and changed everyone from no password to password in hopes of rewriting a bad file. No go. I did adjust the sensitivity of the Keyboard Control Panel--that's all OK. All out of ideas here and any new ones are appreciated. Rob

You're implying it's still ON, even though I nixed everything from the control panel... OK, I'll get back to you either way. BTW, OUTSTANDING list.

At the User log-in, I'd estimate it still waits a good 2-count before recognizing the keypress, which seems a "bit" quicker. Everywhere else it's fine as before. It's not my machine and it's been so long since I logged in to XP--is this laggin keypress normal?
Guest Kelly Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Re: Slow motion keypress log-in... Most welcome and thanks! :o) Check your keyboard speed settings: Control Panel/Keyboard/Speed. Good luck and keep us posted. -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm Is it October already?
