I think the most important thing was the diagnosis, which you provided. [I had no idea from the original posting that it was going to end up being a typematic rate problem]. My addition was just a different way of doing it–I think most can adapt what I was saying into their own specific languages, regardless of what the exact text is.

Of course, Scott, I know that this setting can be done, from within Windows ! But, as I didn’t know the exact name of the fields, in English, and thinking about people, with lot of windows in their native language, I thought it was easier, for everybody, to open a cmd instance and simply type in the command MODE CON RATE=31 DELAY=0 ;-))

I would think that going to the Control Panel for the Keyboard works just as well:

First, I would open the a command line interpreter instance ( cmd ) Then, in the console window, I would type in MODE CON. After validation with the Enter key, you’ll see the present state of the CON peripheral ( The Win32 console )

And, for the keyboard device , I would use this command MODE CON RATE=31 DELAY=0, which after validation, forces the repetition speed of keys to its maximum ( 31 ) and the delay between hitting keys and the action keys to its minimum 0

Whatever your configuration, your keyboard should react quickly. and it’s really interesting, when you hit, for instance, the arrow keys, to navigate in your documents ;-))
