Slow keyboard - any suggestions please

Luddite_2

I am having some problems with my computer. Whats noticeable now is that the keyboard is slow (I type and the words appear a few seconds later) , the mouse is doing the same thing - ie if I try to scroll - left click hold down and move down the edge of the page it doesn't respond straightaway. (Very basic mouse - as I have young children who were breaking anything decent) I can't click into documents etc very easily either. I have run AVAST (and AVG for a particlar trojan) defrag, removed cookies, cleaned up everything I can think of - not very technical mind! The only thing I haven't checked is the registry which someone on another thread suggested - an unknown area for me so I have held off. Can anyone help at all? I have also run a spybot prog. Nothing seem to show up on any of these and there is plenty of capapcity left on the computer.

click start,control panel,keyboard and you should be able to set how fast it responds from there.

Sorry - I wasn't clear enough - I know how to speed up and slow down the cursor etc - but this appears to be a problem I have recently picked up.

It is part of a general go slow I think as it takes longer for me to post etc. It's not the server either.

have a look in task manager - processes page/tab - is any process using a lot of CPU %

Anyway best to go the whole way thru the spy/malware - removal sticky http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=133269 and then get back...

Leave the registry alone .....

How much hard drive space is empty ,you need about 20% to get a proper defrag to work.It could just be that you need to clear some stuff off,re defragment and things will speed up.
