Slow keyboard response
Wireless devices can be sensitive to their surroundings. For example, if the
receiver is placed too close to the system box or monitor or too close to a metal surface it can lose track of the keyboard or mouse. Or maybe some tchotkah on your desk is getting in the way of the signal. You might try experimenting by moving the receiver around. -- Ted Zieglar "You can do it if you try." "DocRocks" wrote in message ... Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum - don't know where else this might fit. I'm running XP SP2 with 512KB of memory. My problem is that several times per day I see a 3-7 second lag or dropouts between typing and the appearance of text in Office and other applications. No unknown processes are running in the Task Manager window. I failed finding new MS Wireless drivers for my MS wireless keyboard. I have run my spyware and adware cleaners (McCafee and Spyware Doctor) but my system still randomly exhibits this behavior. Hope that I have given enought info and if I'm in the wrong forum someone will point me in the right direction. Any ideas would be appreciated. |

try using a ps2 keyboard instead of the wireless one(if you have one) and
check to see if the problem persists. yogi "DocRocks" wrote: hanksTed - My receiveris about 1.5 ft away from all devices and has a clear line of sight to my keyboard. The mouse works fine.
