computer peeps and geeks, laptop problem

[txbondsman]

My laptop won't keep up with my typing, it will miss 2-3 letters and pick up again. It happened 3 x's trying to write that sentance. Any suggestions.....

I know you can adjust the repeat key speed but this sounds different. I would probably sprays some canned air under the keys to get rid of dust.

sounds like your laptop is a piece of shit, or seriously lacking memory. Go into the performance tab in task manager and see how much total physical memory you have compared to available physical memory

That is if u running windows.

it's not really a piece of shit, it's a couple years old, 1.5ghz, what is it 512 for the ram back then idk, I'm not a tech oriented guy as you can see.....

the IT guy said it was a common problem, it was acting like it was skipping a second or two of processing, then would be alright. He told me to run my ad-ware and spybot. Ad-aware didn't fix it but after I ran the spybot, it has worked fine. At least for the time being...

Yes you probable have some rogue software on there using your memory and processing power or too many programs installed.
The reason for delayed typing is that you do not have enough memory and or processing power to move at the speed you are moving.

definitely keep up with your anti-spyware programs and even a registry cleaner
I recommend Eusing Free Registry Cleaner, which can be found http://www.eusing.com/free_registry_cleaner/registry_cleaner.htm

in "computers for dummies" language, the registry can get fucked up? how and what happens....

things can get bloated
updated programs or one that are no longer installed can have file extensions associated with them that are unnecessary. among many many other things
