Running Vista Home Premium on a Dell M1730... in the last week or so I have
been having an issue with typing on the keyboard... this also affects the
system while gaming

If I am in notepad/email client/here typing this now... as I type, the
characters appear normally as you would expect, then every 10 seconds or so
stop being displayed on the screen... that lasts for a few seconds.. then
everything I have typed in the lag period comes up on the screen. In a
gaming situation, same timing and the keys will either intermittently not
respond or will "sitck" for few seconds...

I have uninstalled the Norton Security package but not sure where to go with
this now... I cannot think of any OS patches or changes I did to the system
when this all started

I'll be interested in any response you get, as this also happens to me — at
times, not always. I have a wireless keyboard, and at first thought that it
had something to do with the signal being 'blocked' by items on my desk I
have a metal mesh pen holder that I've moved), but that's apparently not the
case. I *have* discovered that if I reboot, the problem seems to disappear
for a time.

My system is also Home Premium, but on an HP a6230n desktop. It's the only
"problem" I've had with Vista, and as I don't game, I can't speak to that
aspect of it. But from the keyboard perspective, it can be quite irritating!

This is caused by some program or process that is running in the background
taking up CPU cycles. Do clean-boot troubleshooting to find out what it is
so your can address it directly. Clean-boot troubleshooting consists of
starting the system with only the basics and then adding back one thing at
a time until you discover the culprit. You must be systematic in doing this
because the badly behaving program/process can be different on each system.

Re: Having an issue with typing

try using a standard WIRED keyboard and see if the problem goes away.

this is a common problem with wireless keyboards, unfortunately.

Re: Having an issue with typing

that would have been my first guess also, but I have been looking at the
performance task manager when it is happening, like now again :), and CPU
does not cross 10% utilized, should have lots of free mem also, the box has
4G.. I believe that only 3G is accessable under the version of Vista that I
am running, but still, should be tons avaialable....

Re: Having an issue with typing

But I like the clean boot idea.. system is relatively new, got it in
December.. so I was actaully moving towards OS reinstall.. the amout of time
for the clean boots moving up a bit at a time, might just be faster to
reinstall and start over... I do not have that much stuff on it now, so a 1 -
2 day process to get it all back up and running... but good ideas all...

thanks for the input

Re: Having an issue with typing

only you can determine what is chewing up your processor time.

try eliminating running programs a few at a time to try and tie it down to which one is causing the problem.

Like Bryn, my CPUs are showing only 2% to 5% usage when I'm keyboarding, so
there's nothing much going on at all. Oh, well. It's a small thing and I'm
not going to worry about it, as it's so rare. Certainly not worth the time
to go through the process described, I'm afraid! Thanks, though; if it
becomes more of a problem, at least I'll know what to do.

Re: Having an issue with typing

Do CTRL - ALT - DEL and see what is running in background.

Mine does this occasionally if I have too much in background running
and turning off Aero usually makes this better. Also you Wireless
Mouse/Keyboard has CHANNELS you can change if something
external is causing issue. (Toshiba S-6267 2350 duo 2 gig)

Re: Having an issue with typing

think i tracked it down, less by process of elimination and more by dumb
luck... started paying attention to the task manager and everytime the
problem happened the task manager would also appear to freeze, but as soon as
it came back the process on the top of the CPU list was PCMservice.exe, which
is part of Dell's Cybersystems media center...

It is not a service, so when I disabled all the services it did not resolve
the issue.. I disabled the start of the program and all seems better...

FYI, I also tried
- disable auto disk defrag
- disable indexing on disk
- disable windows search
- disable PC tablet service

system did load faster after all of that... but I put them back on now that
*I hope* I got it licked...

Thanks for all the help.. you peeps definatively steered me in the right
direction

Re: Having an issue with typing

That is almost always some program running in the background hogging the
CPU.
Once whatever it is is finished, your keyboard works again.
I have it happen with some programs running, but once I figure out which
ones, I set their priority low and it makes it better.

RE: Having an issue with typing

I have a Dell XPS M1530 Laptop with the exact same problem. The keyboard and
mouse lags. Your solution to disable the startup of PCMservice.exe fixed this.

Thanks!
