computer tech question

Post Reply New Topic

yesterday, i disconnected and reconnected my keyboard (to test another computer). ever since, my keyboard has been very slow. i have to hold the key down until i hear two clicks from my sound system to get a response. i went to control panel, then keyboard and slid all three options up to fast. no difference. is there something i can do? (the mouse works fine.)

also, is there any way to get back a page of a word document i accidentally erased, then saved the document with the erased bits over the good one? yup, the computer ate my homework.

Try restarting the computer with the new keyboard Plugged in>>> Sounds likely it is the system that is slow and not the keyboard itself. When You have a slow system for whatever reason there seems to be a delay in typing and showing on the screen, and if you start typing too fast it may start making a singular beeping sound.... try that first and see what happens . Will come back and check up on response then go from there

As far as your erased work goes, im still trying to get the picture if you accidently copied it into another document, then click the cursor at the beginning then holding the right mouse button, move down and to the right, or until you have highlighted everything, then where it is highlighted ( in the blue) RIGHT click and a drop box should pop up, then select copy or cut... Open a new document, left click cursor, then right click and select paste...
Sorry wish i could help some more, just not sure of the picture i have in mind is what you are trying to explain

restarted. no change.

i have windows 10 if that helps.

Do you have a antivirus software? If you do open it up and do a full scan, this could take some time to complete.

did that shortly after the problem started. even ran norton power eraser. i think it's a settings thing. just don't know how to change it. thanks for responding.
