From: socks on 20 Feb 2010 13:56 Hello, As I'm typing I notice notice my keyboard will lock up. For example I may type the word "computer" & look at the screen & only see the little "c". The cursor will be locked up. After about 10 seconds the rest of the letters appear. I cleaned my keyboard but the problem still occurs. However, as I typed this message the problem didn't occur. It comes and goes. I can speed up the 10 second delay by clicking on another web page & then coming back to my message & the cursor will be blinking fine. john
From: Unknown on 20 Feb 2010 14:34 You have a program running in the background that is taking a lot of system time. Look in task manager to see if you can identify it. Do you have virus programs running? Check for malware?

From: john on 20 Feb 2010 22:58 Hello, I brought up Task Manager & the only thing that I could see was that I had two browsers in the task bar (Internet Explorer & Avant). I also ran a malware application & there is no malware. BTW, this problem only recently started &, so far, as I'm typing this response, the cursor has not locked up. Could it be that I have two browsers open that is causing this issue? -- john "Unknown" wrote: > You have a program running in the background that is taking a lot of system > time. > Look in task manager to see if you can identify it.

Hi Jim, I use Open Office. However, it seems the problem occurs when I use my hotmail program & try to type an e-mail or reply to an e-mail. It has also occurred trying to type a response here earlier today. (BTW, this issue only recently started) However, in my previous response to "Unknown", I had two different browsers open (I.E. and Avant). I closed one & so far as I'm typing this message the cursor has not locked up. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
