I'm having this strange problem.. The repeat rate on my KEYBOARD keeps getting lowered randomly. When I go to the control panel and look at the slider, it's still at the highest possible setting, but the repeat rate is really slow. To fix it, I put the slider on minimum, click apply, and put it back to max and click apply. That fixes it for a while, but it becomes slow again within an hour. It's really annoying having to hold backspace down for ages to delete a bit of text...Wired, or wireless keyboard? USB, or PS/2?
Did you try another keyboard?PS/2, wired. Tried another one, same thing.
Flavor of Windows ? ?
pardon me i just noticed Vista in your specs...
Do you have AERO enabled ? ?Aero's enabled...Try disabling it and re-boot a few TIMES...this just happened to me this weekend        but i haven't tracked down a reason.I figured out what was causing it. It was the MSN+ ADDON. It was causing other little annoyances and SINCE I've deleted it the repeat rate is fine.Ahhhh....add-ons...
