Hummm:
Very interesting and here is a list of suggestions and questions:
1. What OS are you using and what browser?
2. How you tried FireFox or another Web browser?
3. Crack open the taskmanager and see what process (if any) is burning the CPU
when you are experiencing the problem. If there is lots of CPU and no one
process hogging the CPU, perhaps you have RF entering the CPU by the keyboard
cable? Are your transmitting when you have the problem? Perhaps you have an
automatic BBS that fires up and RF is getting into your system?
4. On Windows XP SP2, I've seen the process SVCHOST go into a tight loop when
running IE 7. The problem does not occur when using FireFox.
5. Try another keyboard as per Dave's suggestion.

That is odd, Andy! Here are my thoughts....
Have you checked for an IRQ conflict with the keyboard? Is the keyboard
wireless? Have you tried a different keyboard on that PC?
Does the problem show up in all web-based situations, such as filling in
forms, or only when posting to a forum where there is much more typing? Have
you peeked at the performance monitor while typing to see if that is maxing out?
I sure don't have the answers, and I'm not an expert (ask the XYL!!) but
these are what I would look at.

For the past month or I have been having a problem with web based
email, mostly to this and other Yahoo groups, also with Gmail
postings. When I type the messages , many of the characters that I
type do not make it to the screen. There is a significant lag, at
times, but unlike typical lags caused by a slow Internet connection,
sometimes whole words never make it to the screen! I thought it
might be due to lack of RAM and upgraded this 2.6 gHz CPU PC to one
with 512 MG of RAM. it did not solve the problem. I am using a
cable modem with good speed. The problem NEVER occurred when typing
email or using Outlook, or when composing items in Word. ONLY when
typing in to web based applications. I have run spyware and virus
checking software numerous time. There are periods that the problems
goes away, sometimes for a day at a time .
I have three other PC's in the house, two better performing PCs, and
one an old 1.1 CPU with 256 of RAM, the problem never occurs on the
other PCs. Since it is happening on the PC that I use for ham
operations , I would like to find a fix for this issue .In general,
the PC performs OK otherwise but does seem slower than one would
expect, the CPU often shows as being 100% in use. Not always though.
While typing this message, the CPU has not gone above 50%.
Here is what the above message looked like before I fixed it for
missing characters.
