Keyboard Delay After Typing A Letter Key Or Icon

This is a new phenomenon today.

There is an obvious delay when pressing a key or clicking on an icon or button.

I will try a RESTORE but does anyone know what's going on here?

TIA

Don

 

RESTORE NO HELP!

 

Hi my friend

What is your computer's specs ?
What is the free capacity of your hdd ?
Are you checking your machine about viruses ?
What is the temperature of your machine ?

 

HP Elite
Windows 7/64
8 GB RM
HDD Free space = 160GB
CPU Temperature = 140F

I ran Malware Bytes AND CC. Reports my system is clean.

It may be time for a new computer!

 

HP Elite

comes in notebooks, tablets, desktops and all-in-ones. Which do you have?

 

I should know better than to trust my memory. Here's a better description.

 

Sorry I'm on a 19" monitor and with "senior eyes" all I see is a blur.
I can make out that you are on Windows 7 Home premium HP computer but not much more.

 

plodr,

I can relate, I'm 75 and can barely read it either.

@DavidGP gave me an idea - I'll temporarily disable Avast, my AV, and try reinstalling the FF program again.

 

Is this a laptop, or desktop?

Are you using a wireless keyboard?

 

Check in control panel @ 2 different places. 1 is in device manager for any problems or driver check. Another is in control panel "Mouse" section. It has some options on click speed and cursor movement speed. On mine if I play with cursor move speed it is awful.

And it's not yall's eyes folks. I see good for reading but that ain't good!

 

As mysteriously as it started, it disappeared. Those are the most troubling because we don't learn from them. They tend to recur when least expected. lol

Thanks, all.

Don

 

Sheesh! It seems many of us here on MG's Forums are visually impaired Senior Citizens (I've got bilateral cataracts and am 63). Yay for us old farts!

 

I'm 75, mute and paralyzed but it certainly beats the alternative. I'm still discovering new interests and appreciation for being on this side of the Terra-firma.

 

Hi my friend , you could go to
Start - Run typing cmd - in black screen type this -
wmic computersystem get model,name,manufacturer,systemtype - ok , cpu temperature is very hot , you could buy some good cooler pad like this

helping your system health

 

Appreciated, but it's a desktop computer, not a laptop.

Thanks (or UK equivalent), chortle.

Don

PS: It's Greek to we Oklahomans!

 

I'm not paralyzed but, I can't walk more than 60 feet (without a walker) and have tremors to boot. But, like you I keep my mind (it's the only thing I've got left that still works [somewhat ] stimulated.

BTW, that 140 CPU temp isn't that high.

 

I'm with you on that. I live in a nursing home surrounded by death, dying, Alzheimer's, Dementia, cancer pain, etc. It's sometimes difficult to keep or maintain a positive attitude.

Old time radio (OTR) is my passive escape and composing music is my active way to cling to a thread of sanity.

If you are interested in OTR, I am willing to share my collection (about 2 terabytes) that I find extremely relaxing and nostalgic. Just let me know what you like (westerns, comedy, dramas, etc.) and I will upload to a bulk storage site. They are Public Domain so enjoy them guilt-free.

Badly bent Irishman

 

You're not the only "badly bent Irishman". My last name is Donahue (formerly O'Donahue).

In the past 6 years, I was at 2 Nursing Homes. In the first one, 4 people died in the two months I was there and they didn't have a computer I could use. In the second one, the mortality rate was zero during the 21 days I was there and they had a computer that was running Windows 2000 but, wouldn't connect to the internet (AAAUUGGHH!).

If the computer you're using is YOUR personal computer, you've got it made in the shade .

As far as the OTR, thanks but I listen to Underground Music (like they play from artists such as FatBoy Slim and Massive Attack [you probably haven't heard of them though]).

 

I've had the honor and pleasure of writing "Isla's Waltz" for Irish Country singer, Isla Grant (qv) who is huge in the UK. Isla has 11 Gold and 3 Platinum albums. My tune is not on her playlist but her band plays it during audience transitions during her concerts worldwide.

The Special Needs Music Department at Illinois State University now bears my name. It's the highest-rated such program in the nation.

I'm known as "The Music Man" in my nursing home because I play music and OTR for patients. Also, professional entertainer friends visit me and entertain for free from as far away as Johannesburg, New Orleans, and California.

Please let me know if I can add some music to your life. Maybe an original tune.

Here's my latest:

Don - just went to listen. Amazing. Tried a few more. "A 50's stroll". Great also. Will go back for more. I've got to hear what "A Cold Day in Helena" is like. That's only the second bookmark I've ever had, after MG's of course. Outstanding stuff!

 

@DON GAYNOR,

That fully explains your guitar sound board avatar.

I'll listen to the tune you linked me to and let you know.

 

Hope you'll enjoy my efforts mdonah. Thanks for squinting an ear at it.
