I've got an old Toshiba Laptop with celeron 2.8ghz processor, 512mb Ram running XP
I just installed anti virus
The problem I'm getting is that when I try to type something nothing happens except that it beeps with every key
It's not the antivirus because it happened before I installed it.
Sometimes when I reboot it works ok for a while but then it happens again. There seems to be no option other than to reboot
Can anyone please advise
Thanks
