    Letters appear slowly as I type.
    « on: July 25, 2010, 08:17:33 PM »
    As I type, the letters are delayed by 1-2 seconds.  I don't know if I have a virus, but I used Spybot and AVG and nothing came up.  I'm afraid to login to my bank account. Help please.

    This is probably because some program is using up a lot of CPU. Open task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete or just right click taskbar) and check how much CPU usage and what program is using the most.

    On another forum I found this:

    yeah i found the solution! all you need to do is turn off voice reconigtion. its under control panel/ regional and languages/languages/details then just remove that *censored* thing.
    to read more do a search at microsoft site for mskb articles Q316215 & Q315765

    I am not sure this will work for you, but you can give it a try in addition to what I said in my first post.

      You are looking at the wrong thing. Look under the column that says CPU. Also look at the bottom, it should say "CPU Usage:" What is the number most of the time?

        System idle is the biggest user.

        So what's the second?

        In the performance tab of taskmgr, how much available physical memory?

        How much RAM do you have?  What internet speed do you have?

        System idle isn't a problem in any event.  In fact, a high system idle CPU number is usually a good thing.

              Sorry. Can't help anymore today. Logging out. I'll probably be back in about 21 hours.
