Hi all, I'm having this annoying problem with "delayed typing". It only happens once in a while, not very often yet is extremely annoying. First it only did it on OE, then it did it once while typing a URL in the address bar, and also in Notepad. It usually does it ONLY WITH THE FIRST WORD in a document or where ever I want to type.
This is hard to explain but I'll try. I watch the monitor screen when I type (since I know how to type). When this happens, I'll try and type "typedword" and when looking at the screen all I see is for example "typ" even though I've completed typing "typedword". About 2-3 seconds will go by, then in an INSTANT the REMAINING previously missing characters of "edword" will just appear all at once! So, it's like "typ[DELAY]edword". This is only an example, it sometimes may be earlier or after the first 3 typed characters. I've wasted many hours on this issue and can't find anything about it by searching other than this issue with things like Word, Word Perfect, Lotus, Apple computers, etc. which is not applicable in my case since I don't use them. I tried turning off "SMART Monitoring" for my HD's. Power Scheme is set to "Always on" and NOTHING is set to power down or hibernate, suspend, etc. DirectX is the latest version and patched, and dxdiag shows no problems. I've also tried changing the location of the pagefile. I have 512mb (2x256mb) dual channel DDR so it's not short on memory. CPU is a P4 3.4ghz HT/800mhz bus 512mb cache so it's not underpowered. My main HD is a 10,000rpm WD740 Raptor, so it's not due to a slow HD. Same keyboard is being used, it's cordless but with new batteries and I've tried changing channels. No "sticky keys" are being used. No software has ever been used nor needed for the keyboard. This is new format and fresh install of XP Pro, and I use IE as my browser. This happened before M$ updates, so it's not them causing it and obviously they didn't fix the problem. The exact same hardware, software & drivers are installed as before.
