Solve : Slow Keyboard?? |
|
Answer» A while back my keyboard encountered problems. I've narrowed it down to some type of virus or spyware, but I can't seem to get rid of it. mMy keyboard goes through delays from when I type something. Actually as I type this message nothing appears in the box, and nothing will show up for atleast another 30 seconds. Its really slowing me down when I write reports, or need to find something ion the internet, or even play a game. McAffee keeps telling me I have a virus, and I scan, and it finds one, but the keyboard problem continues. Any help?Perform the following objectives in safe mode whilst having SYSTEM restore disabled.
Does it do this all the time ? What operating system are you USING ? What kind of spyware scanner are you using ? Does Mc Afee have a name for this virus ? let us know ...... dl65 Thanks for the quick replies. dl65, 1. This happens everytime I turn on my computer. Although yesterday, I surfed the internet for a little while, and began typing in another address, and the keyboard RESPONDED with no delay, and stayed that way. But when I turned the computer back on this morning, the delay was back. 2. My system is running on Windows XP. 3. I have two spyware scanners. BPS Spyware remover (Bullet Proof Software) and Ad-aware 6.0. 4. When Mc Afee is COMPLETED with the virus scan, I cannot recall if its the same virus everytime, all I know is its a W32 or something related. Although when I scan I scan subfolders, inside of compressed files, all files and it scans for new and unknown viruses. I have always been one for a computer problem, maybe its my luck or something. BTW, I have tried another keyboard, same problem, I know its not just the keyboard itself. Raptor, How do I disable system restore? Thank you all again for the quick responses. I appreciate it. TimTim Blum.... Here's a tip .......if the pest happens to be in a hidden folder or in the system restore files you will never find it ....... So turn off system restore ...... click start/all programs /accessories / system tools/ system restore .....click system restore settings......... then turn off system restore on all drives ......click apply and ok . Show hidden files and folders .....to do that ....click Start /control panel/ Folder Options /View Tab.......now scroll down and mark " show hidden files and folders" click apply and ok. Now run your virus scan again ...and this time write down the full name of what your looking for ........then do a SEARCH for it . dl65 Quote How do I disable system restore? Follow these steps: 1. Right click on My Computer 2. Properties 3. System Restore tab 4. Tag Disable System Restore on all stations Optional: Install and configure a firewall. Zone Alarm Free Or Sygate Personal Free I appreciate your help. Disabled system restore and checked 'show hidden folders' and scanned for viruses last night, and none were found. Thats good I guess, but my problem still remains. Thanks for your help again, I'll just check this pos into a shop and have it fixed there or something. TimHave you checked your keyboard settings? To do so, follow these steps: 1. Start 2. Settings 3. Control Panel 4. Keyboard Quote Have you checked your keyboard settings? Herer are my settings: Repeat Delay tab all the way to the right(short), Repeat rat tab all the way to the right (fast). When I try to test it the delay still remains. TimUninstalling and allowing Windows XP to redetect the keyboard has no success either?I saw that while trying to trouble shoot yesterday. Just tried it now, the computer found the hardware and reinstalled it, but the delay is still there. I'm starting to think there might be something inside the computer tower itself that might be slowing it down. I have 3 dogs so their hair might be in there. Maybe a spider or something. Maybe all the computer needs is a cleaning. I'll check this weekend when I have some time. |
