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 Turns out the CAB file I had was outdated and I had to grab the latest video driver from Dells website.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.

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.

After an update or installation, your MBP may take some time to index its files. Give it some time - but if you don't see any improvement, post here - you'll get an answer!

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!

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 ....

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

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.

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.

Slow response when typing and/or pulling up new message

I do not have any Add-ons or extensions, so that is not the issue. I have a new computer running Windows 7, so I don't believe that is the issue either. But I have a lot of "hour-glass" time when typing and when clicking on emails to open the message. Is just seems to be responding slow. Is it Thunderbird ... or my computer?

As for Thunderbird, the only relation I could see is in line spell checking. Could you please check your Thunderbird preferences, Composition, Spelling. Does it help to uncheck 'Enable spell check as you type'?
If not, I could imagine this to be related to a virus scanner, or a display driver that is not up to date. You might be able to get an update from it from the manufacturer of your video adapter.

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.

Slow responsiveness when typing in mail

Hi all -
I'm having a weird responsiveness problem when typing new messages (or replies) in Mail on Mountain Lion. The app will often freeze temporally when typing, and then several words of recently typed text appears at once. Freezes last 2-5 seconds. This seems to happen most frequently on my business accounts on Google (meaning gmail service, although the account is not @gmail).
I have tens of thousands of emails , so perhaps it's an indexing delay? Is there a limit on emails?
FYI, I'm on a 2009 15" MacBookPro with 8MB of Ram. My wife has experienced a similar problem on her McBook Air.
Ay ideas? Very annoying problem when you're trying to crank through emails.

Please follow these instructions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Quit Mail.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens, then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Mail And Safari slows down/lags when typing in Hebrew

Very Slow / Lag When Screen Moves...

Hi Guys,
I’m really a newbie when it comes to AS3 – so really a total newbie when it comes to using it to develop iPhone games/apps, but I have used AS2 for years now
I’ve been trying to do a simple test – Just use mouse events to move a screen around depending on what is pressed. No Characters/hittests/etc.
What I have created works great on my pc – very smooth, and even on the iphone, the controls work as expected – but the problem is how SLOW everything is running. Pressing the "UP" arrow - makes the screen move, but very SLOW and Jumpy.
I have tried using onkeyframe and using a timer – but both are very slow.
Typically when I made games in AS2 – the “level” would just be a single BIG movieclip – as shown in “Example A” – but this was very slow on the iphone, so I tried a tile based approach (“Example B”), which reuses the same movieclips, it just moves them and renames them – trying to cut memory usage down, only loading what is needed - but still its slow. The total size of the "level" is only about 3x bigger than the iphone visible screen.
I have made sure all variables are done correctly: var thisVar:int = 10; etc and have enabled cache as bitmap. I have replaced all vector graphics with jpegs, and followed the guide on how to optimize code for iphone development – but nothing seems to work, everything just lags as the screen moves/updates – but everything works great on my pc.
Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong? Is there a way to cache the whole map before the game loads? Which is the correct way to make an iphone game where the level is bigger than the default screen - tile based or a large level graphic.
Thanks so much for any help! I’ve been trying to get this simple test working for 3 days now – but documentation is limited at the moment.
Cheers!

This should be better:
the function addPage() is what I used to test Bitmaps
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Sprite;;
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.GESTURE;
var currentGalleryItem:Number = 1;
var totalGalleryItems:Number = 4;
var slideCounter:Number = 0;
var gallery_items:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(gallery_items);
addPages();
stage.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, fl_SwipeToGoToNextPreviousFrame);
// create pages
function addPages():void
addShape(0, 0, 0xff0000);
addShape(768, 0, 0x00ff00);
addShape(1536, 0, 0x0000ff);
function addPage(xPos:Number, yPos:Number):void
var p:Bitmap = new Bitmap(new bookPage());
p.x = xPos;
p.y = yPos;
gallery_items.addChild(p);
function addShape(xPos:Number, yPos:Number, col:uint):void
var s:Shape = new Shape();
s.graphics.beginFill(col);
s.graphics.drawRect(xPos, yPos, 768, 1028);
s.graphics.endFill();
gallery_items.addChild(s);
function fl_SwipeToGoToNextPreviousFrame(event:TransformGestureEvent):void
if(event.offsetX == 1)
if(currentGalleryItem > 1){
currentGalleryItem--;
slideRight();
else if(event.offsetX == -1)
if(currentGalleryItem < totalGalleryItems){
currentGalleryItem++;
slideLeft();
function slideLeft(){
gallery_items.addEventListener("enterFrame", moveGalleryLeft);
function slideRight(){
gallery_items.addEventListener("enterFrame", moveGalleryRight);
function moveGalleryLeft(evt:Event){
gallery_items.x -= 76.8;
slideCounter++;
if(slideCounter == 10){
gallery_items.removeEventListener("enterFrame", moveGalleryLeft);
slideCounter = 0;
function moveGalleryRight(evt:Event){
gallery_items.x += 76.8;
slideCounter++;
if(slideCounter == 10){
gallery_items.removeEventListener("enterFrame", moveGalleryRight);
slideCounter = 0;

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.
