Something interrupts typing; I have to wait a few seconds before I can type again

I have an HP PAVILION P7 1534 PC running Windows 8 - Something interrupts the typing; I have to wait a few seconds before I can type again - I tried several keyboards, usb and wireless and the problem is still present.

Hello navegante,
You can try to remove unwanted programs, such as malware, that can interrupt your computer, from your computer.
Start > Configuration Panel > Delete a program
If that doesn't help the problem, try to open the system files, and remove the files that aren't normal on your computer
(be sure that you don't delete files or programs that you are going to use later! The program won't function normally!)
Start > Computer > C: > Program Files 
Then delete the unwanted files. But be sure ofwhich you delete.
I'm glad I could help you,

  • When I start up Firefox, it comes up with cursor at search line, but I cannot just start typing. I have to click on the line before I can type even though cursor showed up there when I started Firefox up. This is a little inconvenient.

    I have to click on Firefox search line when I first start Firefox up even though the cursor is already blinking there when Firefox starts.

    As you can see from the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+themes+with+Firefox using themes with Firefox] article, personas are "''lightweight themes that can change the color scheme and background image of the Firefox toolbars''" and they wouldn't change the webpages.
    If you don't like seeing Google as your home page you might want to look at [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page how to set the home page] and change it.
    Finally Firefox 3.5.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until August 2010, so you might want to [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Updating+Firefox update to a newer version].

    My original iPad takes about 5 long seconds before responding to my finger tap in the safari window. Like I tap in Safari window, then count 5 seconds before I can begin typing my search words. Is this normal? I really don't remember it taking so long when I bought it, but it has been this way for awhile. I have closed all open apps many times to no avail. I just reset all settings and still 5 seconds. I don't have a lot on my iPad with plenty of free space available. Also, I have to click twice on many things that typically take one click. Like it highlights it with first click, then second click completes the action that normally would be done in one click, like Facebook like button. Like will underline with click one, then will change to like on second click. Do I need to try to restore from my computer?
    Thanks for any help!

    Ive tried that but when Im logged in I dont have all the permmisions I should have so it just runs the test for my usernames own little virtual world.  Ive been using macs for over a decade now and I have never had my computer do anything like this. while sitting in front of my screen I watched the mouse go to some personal files and change the permissions and then covered their tracks by changing the timestamp on the file dates back. I watched it happpen while all internet conections were off.  I had my identity stolen, my facebook password changed, my email accounts closed out. and my firmware password changed all within two weeks of the origninal boot date

    My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something,  if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck there.
    I have restored it and loaded the backed up material again. But this problem doesnt seem to go away. Sometimes it is too much sometimes it is not noticeable, so what exactly could be wrong and what ALL should I do to get it fixed?  Please reply.

    Thank you. You are very kind. First I backed everything up, then restored as a new phone, and then i couldn't see the contacts, the contacts were not restored when i restored as a new phone. So in order to get the contacts I restored from the backup but then the same problem happened again.
    What I meant to saw was that the probelm disappeared when i restored as a new phone, but it reappeared when i restored from the backup. So is there a way to just somehow get the old contacts when the phone is restored as a new phone. All I need from the current phone is the contacts to be there when I retore as a new phone.
    I hope I am clear.
    Kindly help

    I did that many times, I mean I do it everytime. But it doesnt seem to help. It is strange sometimes the phone is slow and stucks for a many seconds, sometimes it is just one or two seconds. Thank you for your help though, but is there something else that you could think of?

  • HT6058 I have updated my I pad dut I'm still having problems my iPad seems to freeze and when I go to put in my pin it take a few seconds before the numbers go in and my games stop and start and stop and start for a bit before they run properly

    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.) No data/files will be erased.

    Do I have to activate my new phone before I can set it up,ie apps, contacts, emails, etc.?

    Not necessarily. You can remove the SIM card from the phone and set it up via wifi only first and then go the your MyVerizon account online and activate the phone.

    Do I have to give my bank details before I can Skype to Skype. See my contacts etc..

    some Skype services such as Skype-to-Skype calls, conference calls, chat and group chat, 1-on-1 video calls are indeed free of charge. However, some services such as Skype-to-mobile/landline number, group video calls, voicemail, SMS, online number, etc requires credits or subscriptions.
    The support/user guide section offers a mode detailed descriptions - https://support.skype.com/en/
    Moreover, you need to install Skype first in your computer or device.

Then after installing it, you can use the basic and advance features of Skype such as calls, video calls, chat, etc, etc.

    You can't update to 4.3 because you have a CDMA phone. 4.2.10 is the latest version for the Verizon phone.

    No way to trace it if you didn't active Find my Phone on your iPhone before you lost it.
    Notify your carrier and your police of the loss.  Chances are you will never get your phone back.

  • Why do i have to always update flash player before i can preview page in a browser?

    everytime i load a swf file into dwcs6, i need to update my flash player before i can use it?  Why?  how do i get round this so i dont have to update all the time?
    thanks

    Umm... don't use Flash?
    It's a dead web technology.  The world's most popular web devices don't support it (iOS, Androids, etc...)  IMO, you would be doing yourself and your site a visitors a huge favor if you moved to HTML5 video.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Do I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard before I can upgrade to Lion?

    Chrome will no longer update unless I update my MacBook.  I have Leopard. Do I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first before i can upgrade to Lion or can I go straight to Lion? And should I back up my hard drive first before I do an upgrade?

    You need Apple Store to upgrade to Lion (unless you bought a usb with Lion on it).
    Snow Leopard will have the App Store once you update.
    This is how I did it Leopard --> Snow Leopard --> update to get the App Store --> Lion.
    And Yes, you should always back up your hard drive before doing any upgrade : )
    Btw, here's the unofficial way of updating Leopard to Lion.  I never tried it, can't say it will work, so do it at your own risk.

  • I have invested over 6 hours on the phone and with my Verizon Authorized Rep. trying to get the Bonus 1 Gig of Data for myself on the More Plus Plan.  Cut and dry situation but today was told I have to wait about 7 days until they can get me "an answer" o

    Basic question is why are any of the minimun 8 Verizon reps that I or my Authorized Verizon Rep (at Costco) spoke with unable to resolve a very simple, straightforward issue that should have been resolved in 15 minutes max.  Instead I (a 14 year verizon customer) have been given the runaround and have invested over 6 1/2 hours in trying to get someone to acknowledge that I an owed 1 GB of Bonus Data on my new phone on our new plan.  My wife got hers.  I am just venting now as I intend on returning the phone tomorrow (I got it Thursday) and turning around and getting an identical new phone.  This was suggested to me as an option by both the Rep who sold my wife her phone and the rep who sold me mine as that way I would not have to contiinue dealing with this ridiculous state of affairs (they indicated that my Free gig request was being sent to another department and that it would be about 7 days befor they get an answer).   Just Venting  .  Thanks

    No I was considerate, etc.  The root of the problem stems from the fact that when I went to get my new phone I asked the salesperson if I should sign up for the new plan or if my wife should do it the following day when she buys her new phone (also at a Costco but in a different state).  The salesperson said it made absolutely no difference so I elected to have my wife do it.  When she did the next day she got her free Gig and her salesperson told her that I need to call in to make sure I get the gig that I am entitled to as well.  That's when the runaround started with the first call  consisting of me basically advising Verizon of what the promotion consists of, etc.since they insisted that it was one gig per Plan, that there were no exceptions to this, etc.  As mentioned they wanted to know where I got the information that it was one gig per qualifying phone. (Both the rep and her supervisor obviously were not aware of how Verizons heavily touted More Everything plan works). They told me finally that I needed to go back to the Costco where I got the phone.  I did.  The salesperson apologized numerous times to me for advising me that it made no difference who signs up for the plan or when.  She then spent over two hours on the phone (with me next to her) attempting to explain to Verizon what happened, how it was her fault, and how I was clearly entitled to the Bonus Gig since I also had a qualifying phone.  Finally she was transferred to someone who authorized the Bonus Gig (since I was clearly entitled to it) and who indicated that it might take 24 hours to show up on my new Plan.  72 hours later, no change, and the runaround continues some more.  The only reason I even came to this forum was to let off some steam since no one could give me an answer..  It's clear that I am entitled to the Bonus Gig yet the last supervisor I spoke with told me that he could only pass the request on to another department via e-mail (no direct contact, etc. even though I gave him the name and employee # of the Verizon rep who indicated the Bonus was approved) and that an answer should be forthcoming in about 7 days.  I was very cordial with everyone I spoke with as I understand that they take their direction from the top.  The countless hours I have spent dealing with this situation is something that no-one should have to go through, particularily someone who has been a Verizon Plan customer since about year 2000.  Everyone seems to agree that I am entitled to the free gig but no one seems to be in a position to help this customer.  Its a horrible way to treat someone.  I talked with the original saleslady today and told her I would be in tomorrow to turn in the phone and get a new one along with the gig I was entitled to.  She said that would be fine and wouldn't be a problem but that she would be happy to try calling Verizon once again to try to resolve the issue.  I indicated that I'm done with wasting time taliking with well-meaning and courteous (and I assume underpaid) employees who I assume are pretty much directed from above that any concessions they make, even if the customer is entitled to them, will reflect badly on their employee evaluations .  Good thing I am retired or I would really be worked up.  They only way I would consider even talking to Verizon anymore on this is if they were to waive  the $60 in upgrade fees my wife and I paid for the new phones.  I hope this explains the situation to your satisfaction.  Thanks.
