My wireless keyboard has become really slow - press a letter then wait to see it on screen, then press another etc I have also tried a plug in keyboard and its exactly the same. (feels like the keys are half asleep if that makes sense)

Please does anyone have any ideas.

Thanks

    Did you shut down before you swapped the keyboards, and did you leave the wireless dongle in when you swapped them?

    Do you have a virus scan running?
    Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j

    If all else fails, remember, keep calm and hug a spaniel!

    It's pretty depressing that most tech problems since Windows 95 came out can be fixed by restarting the computer, even all these years later ;)

    Users I used to support eventually realised what the first bit of advice would be, and got into the habit of phoning with a problem and saying "I've switched it off and on again and the problem's still there!"
