Guest bnmohan via WindowsKB.com Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hi! 4 June 2008 My brand new Dell Vostro Notebook with T7250 at 2.4 and 3gb ram running XP Prof with SP2 has a slow response to keyboard entries: In any application, when anything is typed on the keyboard, it is echoed after a delay of 2 to 3 seconds. So much so that whole words are typed in, but there is nothing on the screen. No characters are lost: everything appears after the usual delay. Would there be any setting in XP that could cause this?

Guest marx404 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Re: Very slow response to Keyboard entries What apps are you typing in? This is "normal" in MSN Hotmail, they always seem to have a delay. If not try switching keyboards. -- marx404 _________________ "bnmohan via WindowsKB.com" <u35859@uwe> wrote in message news:8529bc1dc9334@uwe... > Hi! 4 June 2008 > > My brand new Dell Vostro Notebook with T7250 at 2.4 and 3gb ram running XP > Prof with SP2 has a slow response to keyboard entries: In any application, > when anything is typed on the keyboard, it is echoed after a delay of 2 to > 3 > seconds.

Guest bnmohan via WindowsKB.com Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Re: Very slow response to Keyboard entries All aplications: notepad, word, etc. In Notepad, for eg, if I type very fast, characters are echoed along with the kesytroke for say 30 characters, and then they appear long after the keystroke is made.

Guest R. McCarty Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Re: Very slow response to Keyboard entries PS/2 Keyboard or USB ? - Components in a computer have a polling hierarchy ( IRQ ). A keyboard should have a higher priority IRQ #. ( a lower IRQ number ) if it's PS/2 based. If your keyboard is USB based then it's IRQ will likely be in a higher # range ( 17+ ) and could be on a heavily loaded Root Hub.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Re: Very slow response to Keyboard entries That can happen when the video drivers are not properly installed. You say that this is on a "brand new Dell", I suggest that you call Dell and ask them.

Guest bnmohan via WindowsKB.com Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Re: Very slow response to Keyboard entries It is a brand new Dell Vostro notebook. Am not sure how the keyboard interfaces with the MB. The video card is a NVidia GeForce. Am trying to contact Dell, but they also seem to have a similar affliction. Shall try again tomorrow.

Guest GRJoe Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 RE: Very slow response to Keyboard entries I am having the same problem with a year old Dell 1501. It worked fine until yesterday. No new software was loaded (intentionally). Is there a new virus on the loose? Trend Micro and Ad Aware found no significant problems. I tried to correct the problem by using System Restore but the problem persists. Thanks for any help with this.
