Keyboard response is slow

I have an interesting problem.  Recently, the response of the keyboard became slow, and it seems to be particularly bad, when I am in Yahoo mail (when I'm composing electronic).  It seems to work correctly in MS Office, Excel, etc.  I recently turn on Skype, and I think that's when I started to experience the problem.  Install Skype would have something to do with keyboard response in Yahoo mail being so slow?

I must add that I have a Dell Studio XPS laptop.  I use Vista.

levans1129,
As Skype is the third party software, we cannot advise you as to what the issue might be with their product.  However, if you check the Skype user forums, you will see this issue discussed.  So, I recommend that you post your question in the forum of Skype users or contact Skype to help solve the problem.  We know that the Skype product is compatible with Vista and works very well for many other users.  This is probably another third-party software or hardware on your computer that is in conflict with Skype.
Here is a link to the Skype Windows community forum:

    MY laptop keyboard response is very slow.

    I'll have to press the character for about 3 seconds before what that what is on my screen, please help.

    I assume you have all new laptop. Initially the laptop is very busy with many services and loading Basic applications. Windows Update is set to automatic and it looks permanent new updates and install them in the background.

    I'm pretty sure that the HARD drive is busy when you try to write something.

    What you need to do is the optimization of operating system pre-installed. With other words change Windows update settings and stop commissioning for some useless but preinstalled applications, and additional software.

    This means when you type something in the office mailbox occurs rather slowly in the documents?

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here, but probably some background process may be responsible for this. Start your computer in safe mode and check it out.

    Hi PaulNord,

    I guess your operating system is windows XP, and if this is the case, additional software is required for your device works properly. If you haven't already done so, you can visit your device home page in the link below to download and install the appropriate drivers.

  • Keyboard and screen slow to respond

    We have an esxi40 server and we have created a virtual machine that is running windows 2003 os with applications that run on it. We have people who use the server terminal server to access. We've set it for 1 cpu and 2 gigabytes of memory. Looks like when we have around 20 users connected, as the day progresses, we'll have maybe one or two people call and tell us that when the open Notepad or excel and try to type something, they receive slow responses and when they try to open a tab they have mininized, it is slow to respond.

    It is: I don't get because of this alarm on the control even if it seems to be a memory problem.

    Hi, I installed OEM on my virtual machine with 70 GB of disk space and a space of exchange for 5 GB and 2 GB of RAM. I installed Linux 5.8 Oracle and Oracle DB and OEM 11 g R2 version. Although the installation was successful, when I try to navigate the console host via https://< host name >: 7801/em login page takes at least 2 minutes is displayed. Its the same with all browsers SRAGP. Something escapes me in which the Web server must be set appropriately. Help kindly.

    The problem is now resolved. I rebooted, the database and listener

    Restart of the database:

    1 sqlplus "/ as sysdba".

    immediate stop

    2 sqlplus "/ as sysdba".

    The listener is restarted:

  • Event navigation response is Slow

    Hello

    I have download a demo interface to illustrate a problem I encounter.

    I use a control tab and 'Buttons OK' to change the tabs.

    The appearance of the 'OK' button is changed by pasting images of Microsoft Visio, through the button right click-> Advanced-> customize.

    Clicks on the "OK" buttons are captured using the "change value" in a "Structure of the event.

    The problem is that sometimes an "OK" button needs more 1 click to work. In the original interface that has more decorations, the buttons "OK" a lot... a lot of clicks people need to go to another tab.

    What is more, the tabs are not clickable, when the program is in "Run" mode

    What should I change?

    Thank you.

    You must import photos into the button, not the decoration elements. (see button on page 2, that I modified in the VI attached. I have not hcange anything else...).

    You wired probably a zero for the timeout.

    Also, for the latch action buttons, terminals belong in the respective events. Also note the coercion. Enum constant diagram is of the wrong type.

    If this does not help, run Firefox in Mode without failure. If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    To disable hardware acceleration

    • Click the menu button

      then select Options.

    • In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.

    Now, quit Firefox, wait a few seconds and start normally. Sometimes the problem was caused by the old graphics drivers, so if you want to run with hardware acceleration, try to update these drivers to see if that fixes it.

  • Why firefox has slow response when I save images on hard drive?

    I have windows 7 64 bit and Mozila firefox worm 17.0.1. I have the following problem. When I try to save an image from a site (right mouse click and save as) the disk hard from my pc, firefox response is slow. It takes about 6 to 10 seconds. I thought that it was a matter of file size, but it turned out that it was not relevant because it was images of 10 KB to 500 KB. I did the following:
    -clear history
    -clear the firefox cache and the cache folder in my profile
    -Delete the downloads.sqlite and localstore.rdf files
    -J' changed the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone and services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone false
    -clear the downloads window
    -Disable all add-ons

    After all this, the problem remains
    Then I started firefox in safe mode (help-> restart with the disabled... modules). The problem remains.
    Then I disabled the windows firewall and Microsoft security essentials (real-time protection). I don't have any other antivirus or firewall on my pc. Nothing happened.

    Then, I created a new profile (reset firefox). Nothing happened. A last attempt, then, remained to be done. Restart in safe mode. So I followed these steps.
    I ran msconfig and disabled Microsoft Security Client to start tab and Microsoft antimalware Service on the services tab. So, I did a boot in safe mode with network support and disabled windows firewall. Guess what. Nothing happened.

    I noticed that when I tried to record images, in the process, there was a significant activity of hard drive (the hard drive activity led indicator was constantly lighting) and firefox in the upper left corner, shown the message does not for about 6 to 10 seconds. You understand that saving a picture of 19 Ko in 10 seconds is not normal.

    Is - this problem has to do with the cache? The disc is a SSD (solid state drive). Do you think that it would be preferable to redirect the in-memory cache? (I have 6 GB of total RAM). This problem was also in previous versions of firefox, but I think that with this version, the problem is more common. This is not the case with all the photos, but it happens with more than 65% of the images.

    It also happens when loading a web page, but it could be a question of a heavy web page that uses a lot of resources in my system, while loading. The problem is the same. Constant hard disk activity and it takes time to load the web page. The problem with the loading of the web page, is not as common as with saving images.

    I think it's a question of management of the cache. What is your opinion?

    Thank you.

    The cause of my problem was the jump lists, which has Windows 7. There are two types of jump lists, automatic or custom. Automatic jump lists caused the slow decline in firefox via Windows Explorer. Finally, it was a windows problem exploring and not firefox. Windows 7 introduces many new features that cause slow system performance. In any case, the solution to the problem is to follow the steps:
    1. open my computer and on the address bar paste the path: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
    2. press CTRL + a
    3. press SHIFT + DELETE and delete the entire folder
    I think the respective windows Explorer jump list is one that begins with 1b4dd67f29cb1962, in which case you do not want to delete the list of every jump in the folder. If you use firefox, download a file and then go to the above mentioned path and view the files by date. The most recent file must be the correspondent with firefox.

  • Satellite L670-143 - keyboard LAG but work external keyboard

    Windows 7 64 bit
    Intel® Core i5 - 430 M processor
    : 2.26 / 2.53 turbo GHz

    4 096 (2 048 + 2 048) MB of ram
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics card

    But this last week ive been keyboard problems. The problem is not always present, but when his present is not weather im play, surf the internet or write an important document.
    I'm not sure at 100% what the problem is, I spent hours trying to understand and to remedy, but nothing seems to help. But when I press a P, I sometimes PPPs. Or when I press a P, it does not appear. It is with all keys. And especially when I type fast. Also, when I pressed the back button, it "lags behind (for a fraction of a second)" every 2 seconds orso. When the problem is not present, the BACKSPACE key is smooth.

    I did a lot of virusscans and did all the registercleanups etc. I made sure that the keys filters and sticky keys are disabled. I checked all drivers updates. When I tried the fix http://keyliner.blogspot.com/2009/11/windows-7-slow-keyboard-response.html nr.1, he disappeared when I rebooted. but the next day, the problem came back and when I redid it, (does what it says + delete the file and recreate) it does not solve the problem. Maybe it was just random chance, I don't know. I turned off the laptop battery to see if she was getting better, he has not.
    I'm not sure of what other ive also tried...

    When I plug my usb keyboard (I write about this now) is not a problem either.

    Ive also browsed this forum,'m (happy in fact) to see that others have the problem as well, but I'm still looking for a solution that works for me
    . It would be simply amazing that I could get rid of this, its incredibly frustrating :(

    Thanks for your time.

    Hello

    To be honest, if an external keyboard is working correctly I think that it s a hardware malfunction and keyboard connected internally. I doubt it of a virus or something else because the same mistake happen on an external keyboard as well.

    In addition to the keyboard there is no special driver, it of a part of Windows so that you can t update the keyboard driver.

    Now in your case I would take with the closest authorized service provider contact. Your laptop is only 3 weeks so it s under warranty. If you communicate with ASP, they can view the workbook, and if you need a new keyboard, the repair is free. :)

  • Keyboard and touchpad do not work on Satellite C870-13F

    I have a computer satellite C870-13th since August.

    Yesterday for no apparent reason, my touchpad has stopped working. (no, I didn't turn off)
    Not really bothered by it, I continued working on my computer for several hours.
    Find it me so that he might be a little bug, so I decided to restart my computer.

    When we turn back, not only my touchpad does not work, now nothing on my keyboard responded, not a single touch. I've updated the drivers, bios, done a virus scan, restored my computer for a few days before, nothing is.

    The strange thing is that the keyboard is always when I press F1 or F8, 0, enter, and arrow keys to get into the menus before windows starts.

    Help them, I used the toshiba recovery to restore the computer to factory settings.
    Despite all this, keyboard and touchpad are still pending.
    I don't really understand, because it works at startup may not be real materialistic damage!

    Now, I'm getting frustrated cause I have more solutions and tapping the screen with the keyboard is really slow! = p

    Any help?

    Hello

    I think that it s a bad material work because you have already tried the system recovery and the keyboard does not work even if you use the factory settings.

    But it would be interesting to know if the USB external keyboard would serve. You can test this? In my opinion if the external keyboard would work properly, then it would mean that your keyboard is faulty and must be replaced.
    I m wondering if the fault of the touchpad is related to failure of internal keyboard.

    However, I think that the guarantee must still be valid if you bought this unit in August. Then get in touch with service and guys should fix it for free!
