Typing is behind actual time

Typing in AIM and also in Word is so weird and frustrating. I am typing blanks and the words appear 10-20 seconds later. It doesn't happen typing here. The settings must be off somewhere - any idea what is going on - Thanks





You could check your settings just to be sure, as well as your RAM on your computer, how many windows open at the time it happens, etc. Hopefully others will have some more suggestions!
Good luck,

I just upgraded from a 6-year old PC with Win98, 128 mgs RAM where I was having these slowdown, jerky programs when I had too many windows open and trying to do too much. What finally messed up speed and systems resources for me was having to upgrade my anti-virus program (old one too obsolete to d/l updates with any more...) and the new program was such a HOG on RAM, that it and my firewall going left me with little RAM to go online or open any programs. Before that I could have Word open to type post drafts, for example, for this board and spellcheck them. After I got this new updated McAfee program on the old computer, I couldn't open Word and use it without everything going jerky slow...plus I had dialup then. Now, on my new Mac, I have several gigs speed processor, 768 mgs RAM, DSL and *nothing* except the web site or my ISP when doing maintenance, slows me down, LOL! :D Guess I could have upgraded my old PC, but it had to have so many things replaced in the 6 years (two hard drives, graphics board, CD-RW drive, monitor...) I didn't want to put more memory or more money (like upgrading Windows) into old hardware...
It all makes a huge difference...
