Temporary Keyboard lockup
Hello,
As I'm typing I notice notice my keyboard will lock up. For example I may type the word "computer" & look at the screen & only see the little "c". The cursor will be locked up. After about 10 seconds the rest of the letters appear. I cleaned my keyboard but the problem still occurs. However, as I typed this message the problem didn't occur. It comes and goes. I can speed up the 10 second delay by clicking on another web page & then coming back to my message & the cursor will be blinking fine. john

You have a program running in the background that is taking a lot of system
time. Look in task manager to see if you can identify it. Do you have virus programs running? Check for malware? "socks" wrote in message ...

Hello,
I brought up Task Manager & the only thing that I could see was that I had two browsers in the task bar (Internet Explorer & Avant). I also ran a malware application & there is no malware. BTW, this problem only recently started &, so far, as I'm typing this response, the cursor has not locked up. Could it be that I have two browsers open that is causing this issue? -- john "Unknown" wrote: You have a program running in the background that is taking a lot of system time.

Temporary Keyboard lockup
Hi Jim,
I use Open Office. However, it seems the problem occurs when I use my hotmail program & try to type an e-mail or reply to an e-mail. It has also occurred trying to type a response here earlier today. (BTW, this issue only recently started) However, in my previous response to "Unknown", I had two different browsers open (I.E. and Avant). I closed one & so far as I'm typing this message the cursor has not locked up. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Jim,
I think everything is okay now. I was typing you a response a few minutes ago using Avant as my browser & noticed the cursor freezing up again after typing a few words. I opened up task manager & under Processes, the CPU was running something like 95%. So I had an idea. I closed out Avant & opened up Internet Explorer & looked at Task Manager again & under Processes the CPU usage was only about 0-2%. I then typed this message again & the cursor didn't lock up this time at all. I guess my question is why would Avant cause this issue? Hopefully, this was the issue.
