Another thrillilng lag when typing

it's so exciting to have a snag like lagging when typing. I have a Toshiba L675 and suddenly (and without warning) my keyboard is not at times keeping up with my slow typing. One can type a whole word before it shows up on i.e. Outlook 2013 or Google in IE10.
I am using Windows 8 and nothing installed new. This problem just decided ot create itself to give me grief. Anyone out there have an idea as to what can or is causing this. No viruses / malware. Typing here produces no problem whatsoever, but in IE10 and Outlook 2013 is where my pain lies.
Help will be appreciated. Thanks!
(In the highly unlikely event you do not see this posting, please let me know immediately)

Thanks for the replies. I've done the Reset thing - presently I have disabled all the Addon's. Also, in the Registry, I have in the H-Key_Current_User / Control Panel / Desktop -MenuShowDelay tried from the default number 400 and switched it 100, then 200, then 500, now currently 150, all of which are really making no change.
I have done the Malware and virus check(s) - done the CCleaner, shut off the smooth scrolling in Outlook 2013, but nothing changes this.
As to the cpu usuage, it really does not change. I've had the Taskmanager set so it doesn't disappear when I type, and when a word doesn't come up, nothing changes there.
This thing is sporatic. I can go 30 - 40 seconds typing and no problem then suddenly a word, or three or for letters are typed before it shows up on the screen. Then everything will roll along well and then the problem begins again.
This problem is something new that's popped up its head within the last four or so days.
I'm using a Toshiba L675-00X-00X. I've had Windows 8 / IE10 on this unit since October / 12 and not a flaw ... well, until now. But I've seen this on other laptops and somehow got rid of it but just can't remember how.
Your help / suggestions will be welcomed I'm sure.

  • Has anyone experienced lagging when typing on the mac since the mountain lion os x update?

    hey everyone,
    i'm a newbie to this kind of stuff but just curious if anyone has experienced any kind of lag when typing since the mountain lion update. I find then whenever i'm typing it doesn't show up and as soon as i start deleting my sentence it will appear again.
    also, when scrolling over a highlighted word, your typical menu box will drop down. As soon as it drops down it leaves a big white blank where it was and cuts out everything that was in its path.
    please let me know if this is something that can be fixed or if apple's working on something to amend the issue. thanks everyone!

  • IE 9, 10, 11 - Slow/Lag when typing

    *UPDATE*
    So just installing the latest display driver (AMD HD-3xxx) from Dell's website did NOT fix the issue. For whatever reason (still researching) The ATI Catalyst software needs to be installed also. So for testing, I imaged an Optiplex 780 (on board
    video) and I had no Issues with IE. I then installed the same image on an Optiplex 9020 with a Video Card. I made sure I had the latest driver in MDT as well. Once it was imaged and I tested IE I had the same issues. Installed the Catalyst software and teh
    issues ran away. I then uninstalled the video card from the computer, reimaged the Optiplex 9020 using the on board drivers and had no issues with IE.
    Link to AMD and BINGO: http://developer.amd.com/community/blog/2010/03/16/ie9-takes-advantage-of-the-gpu/
    A few users have brought this to my attention, I had not tested to much since IE is not my default browser, shame on me. I am imaging Dell Optiplex 760's and 9020's with a custom image and having it patch after installing applications. IE
    11 is being loaded on when this happens. For whatever reason IE will lag when typing in certain page fields. It does it when searching in Google or if I go to my companies OWA page. For testing I went ahead and built a machine from scratch (using Windows 7
    USB) ran all of the latest patches, installed all of the same software and what do you know IE works without any issues. So on the computer that was having issues, I tried safe mode and no issues when using IE. Here is the kicker, If I roll back IE all the
    way to IE 8 it works perfectly, once I started going to 10 and then 11 is when I noticed the issues.
    I have been racking my brain for the past week on this issue. I have rebuilt the task sequences for both machines even when using the install files from a disk to image a machine, as soon as I run Windows Updates IE breaks. Any thoughts? Oh and I have tried
    EVERYTHING in regards to IE, no add ons, reset settings, inPrivate, everything

    Hey Keith,
    You may have hit it right on the nose. Turns out the CAB file I had was outdated and I had to grab the latest video driver from Dells website. The Optiplex 760's we run have a video card and what I believe is happening is when imaging the machines out the
    Catalyst software is not being installed which is causing the errors (I think). As soon as I updated the display driver and installed the supporting software with it the issues went away. I updated MDT with the latest video driver and am going to image a machine
    to see if that is all it needed. If it does need the Catalyst software installed I'll be adding that to my base image so I don't run into this again. 

  • Extreme lag when typing in Safari

    I get a huge lag when typing an address or search term in safari. It started about a month ago and hasn't gotten any better. It's pretty much driving me nuts.
    Any ideas out there?
    Ray

    See if any of the following help.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Serious screen lag when typing in fields with Safari, Chrome, etc.

    With my MacBook Pro 15" i7 I'm experiencing a serious lag time when typing comments in posts online... like right now.. I'll type a few words and nothing shows up on the screen until I stop typing. Then the rest of the words leisurely fill in after I stop.
    This happens in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. On my iMac 27" i7 and MacPro, using the same Airport wi-fi in my house, I do not experience this.
    When I type in Mail, TextEdit, etc., as I type the letters show up as fast as I can type.
    I've got 8GB of RAM, 4GB of free RAM, a MacBook Pro15" i7, 500GB 7200 RPM HDD with plenty of space on it, recently fixed permissions, checked disk with Disk Utility AND DiskWarrior, re-booted, cleared caches, checked for current firmware... what now?
    This doesn't happen on my other Macs, so I know something is up with this machine. (I typed that entire last sentence in before anything showed up on the screen - then when I stopped, after a few seconds, the words filled in.)
    Driving me bonkers! Can anyone offer a solution?

    Im am having the same problems never happen before -15inch macbook pro i7 4 gb ram 500 gb 7200 rpm hd... curious that we both have the 7200 rpm!!?? ....On 2nd laptop same problem and after days with apple online and store -still no answer ....  Here is a link for another thread i'm on with further lag issues im having...

  • MBP lags when typing in pages

    Hi,
    I have a late 2009 13" MacBook Pro and when I am typing in pages it is constantly lagging by a couple of seconds, It also lags when I am zooming in or out and doing thing like moving images and text boxes. It is really frustrating and any help is much appreciated..

    Saw you got no response. You could try some basic repairs.
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

    Double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. You may have many open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign.

  • Significant lag when typing Hebrew in Mail

    I have a MacBook Air running OSX 10.7.2.  Whenever I type Hebrew in mail, the cursor hangs and it takes several seconds for the letters to appear.  This does not happen when typing Hebrew in any other application.
    Any suggestions of what I can do?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Iphone keyboard issues lag when typing

    Issue with typing on keyboard on the iphone 5 with ISO 7 installed

    Thank you so much, I was having this problem with a replacement Iphone 5 that was purchased from Apple today with iOS7 installed.  I had no idea why this was happening as it didn't happen to my original iphone 5 when I installed iOS7.
    Turning off documents and data in iCloud solved it straightaway. Really pleased, you saved me another trip to the genius bar!!

  • Mail lag when typing

    I'm having an annoying little problem with Mail- when I type, the letters are consistently lagging behind my typing. I am by no means a fast typer, but this lag time is driving me batty. What do I need to do to eliminate this problem?

    Terry,
    I find this happens on my old G4 when free RAM has been reduced to a minimum. This is normally cured, for me, by either quitting Safari or by a Restart, with the latter returning the most free memory.

  • Unresponsive / lagging when typing in Pages, how can  I stop this?

    When I'm typing in Pages on my Ipad (1) it's not responding immediately and delays for about 5 seconds before the letters I've typed show up and then it has bits missing. It's the same if I use a dock keyboard or the touch screen which makes me think it's somehting to do with the software.
    Does anyone have any tips? I've recently upgraded to the recent iOS 4.3.2, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
    Thanks

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following article:

  • Mail And Safari slows down/lags when typing in Hebrew

    Hi, I have a OS 10.9.5 installed and when I type hebrew in a message in mail or when I type in a form field in Safari (or Facebook etc) I the apps slows down, lags and I get the spinning beach ball

    Try setting up a new user account and see if you still have the problem when logged into that.

  • Text lags when typing in discussion forums

    While typing an entry in a discussion forum, in this case ''topix.net'', the displayed text will lag far behind the typing. Every so often it will "burp" = the display will refresh, the cursor will jump to catch up, and will leave out anything typed in the interim, causing one to have to go back and insert corrections.
    I can do the same task in IE, and there is no lag, so it is obvioulsy a FF issue. I'm "guessing" it has something to do with the spellcheck function? If I could turn that off, I could confirm.

    The two major causes of this are moving the frame over or next to an object to which text wrap is applied, or specifying that the text should align to the baseline grid and there is no grid line within the bounds of the frame (the frame is not tall enough to span the baseline grid).

  • Terminal lagging when typing (solved)

    No matter if I open gnome-terminal, urxvt or xterm, the typing of characters becomes slow.
    I type 4 or 5 characters, and only then the first one shows up in the screen. The same thing if I launch
    vim from a terminal and also the same thing with irssi.
    I tried creating a new user, with a fresh $HOME folder and no personalized config
    files at all. The problem is exactly the  same. I even reinstalled the system with the netinstall cd.
    It also doesn't matter whether I run gnome, openbox/tint2 or lxde.
    Some of you will probably remember my other thread, with a very similar problem.
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99776
    Now, it doesn't happen in gvim, like before, for instance. I don't know what else to look for.
    I use the  terminal/vim/irssi all the time. That problem is driving me crazy.

    Here's my keyboard.conf file:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbLayout" "br"
    Option "XkbModel" "abnt2"
    EndSection
    Although I said the link you gave me didn't seem to be related to my problem,
    having in mind that the load average was always low here in my notebook, it
    actually is related.
    As I had nothing else that I hadn't tried (that I could
    think of) I decided to use an older kernel. Here's what I did:
    As I didn't have a way to downgrade the kernel. I reinstalled the
    system with the archlinux-2010.05-core-i686.iso and prevented pacman from
    upgrading the kernel, so I'm currently running the kernel 2.6.33.4-1. The rest of
    the packages are up to date. I've been using terminal, vim, and irssi for about an
    hour and a half now, and no signs of lagging terminals. So, the
    kernel 2.6.35 - which I had been using before - really seems to be the problem.
    I read in that thread ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 56#p818256 ) that
    using kernel 2.6.36 makes things even worse. So, no way of running a newer kernel ?
    Karol, thanks a lot (a lot, a lot, a lot) for your help. Sorry I didn't think that my problem
    was not related with the problem mentioned in the link you gave me in you first
    reply to this thread. As users were always mentioning a (kind of) high load average (which
    was not my case) I didn't relate my problem with theirs. I apologize.
    Thanks.
