Keyboard Problems

[Kurt Astbury]

Hello, I'm having a problem with my keyboard in Win XP
while playing 3d games.

It would seem that after about 5 to 20 minutes of playing
I lose my ability to use my keyboard. Does this make any
sense at all to anybody out there?

Please send replies to (e-mail address removed)

Thankyou

Hi Kurt,

I hope you're reading this as most of us only reply to the group...
Here is what I would try first to troubleshoot that problem:

1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:

2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.

3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.

4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
