Weird text box issue

[xrapidx]

This is getting annoying, for some reason when I type in textboxes on internet explorer, it misses characters as if I'm typing to fast, I then, like right now, have to type everything in notepad and then paste it into the text box. Anyone know what causes this? I'm running a reasonably spec'd laptop, 2GHz processor, 2GB ram, etc. It only happens in internet explorer, even in small boxes like the post title.

Here's an example of the above typed in i.e. and not notepad:

You using wireless stuff?

 

[xrapidx]

Nope.. laptop keyboard, and it only effects i.e. text boxes.

Go to control panel > system > remove the keyboard from the device list > reboot into safe mode > rinse and repeat > reboot again and install the drivers from your Win XP CD again (or the OS should already have them so you might not even need the CD)

Check that you have the latest GPU driver installed and disabled ClearType of whatever in IE7.

What version of IE you using?

 

[xrapidx]

I.e 7... vista's version. Its getting damn annoying.

Could you check which font you are using in IE?

Click internet options again, at the first screen, click fonts, third at the bottom.

Now choose Arial for example and apply it, restart IE and try to type.

Your font may have gotten corrupt, or it's just a bug

upgrade to firefox and opera and you'll be fine

So it's not working?

 

[xrapidx]

No... I don't know why...sometimes it seems worse than others <-- like now I typed this whole sentence without a single error.

I'm going to watch the performance on my machine, see it it spikes or anything when this happens.... maybe there's a key logger on my pc... brb, fetching tinfoil hat.

It happens also to myself - but only when I use my wireless keyboard.

Happened after I moved my wifi router to my desktop - will have to move it to another location...
