Temporary Keyboard lockup

Hello,



As I'm typing I notice notice my keyboard will lock up. For example I may

type the word "computer" & look at the screen & only see the little "c". The

cursor will be locked up. After about 10 seconds the rest of the letters

appear. I cleaned my keyboard but the problem still occurs. However, as I

typed this message the problem didn't occur. It comes and goes. I can

speed up the 10 second delay by clicking on another web page & then coming

back to my message & the cursor will be blinking fine.

You have a program running in the background that is taking a lot of system

time.

Look in task manager to see if you can identify it. Do you have virus

programs running? Check for malware?

What program are you using to type with ?
 
Hello,



I brought up Task Manager & the only thing that I could see was that I had

two browsers in the task bar (Internet Explorer & Avant). I also ran a

malware application & there is no malware. BTW, this problem only recently

started &, so far, as I'm typing this response, the cursor has not locked

up. Could it be that I have two browsers open that is causing this issue?

Hi Jim,



I use Open Office. However, it seems the problem occurs when I use my

hotmail program & try to type an e-mail or reply to an e-mail. It has also

occurred trying to type a response here earlier today. (BTW, this issue only

recently started) However, in my previous response to "Unknown", I had two

different browsers open (I.E. and Avant). I closed one & so far as I'm

typing this message the cursor has not locked up. Any thoughts or

suggestions would be appreciated.



John

Hi Jim,



I think everything is okay now. I was typing you a response a few minutes

ago using Avant as my browser & noticed the cursor freezing up again after

typing a few words. I opened up task manager & under Processes, the CPU was

running something like 95%. So I had an idea. I closed out Avant & opened

up Internet Explorer & looked at Task Manager again & under Processes the

CPU usage was only about 0-2%. I then typed this message again & the cursor

didn't lock up this time at all.



I guess my question is why would Avant cause this issue?



Hopefully, this was the issue.



Thanks,



John
