I posted a message hours ago about this and it never appeared even
though Google said it would go right up. Sorry if it shows up later
and I am asking the same basic question.
When Itype anyting ig internetplorer ersion 7 under windows vist
itlooksike this. can anoe explain ths? I have totype very sowly t
avoid it. vey very slowy.
That's what it looks like when I type in a text box in Internet
Explorer 7. It does not happen with Safari, Opera or Firefox on this
same computer

Thank you for the advice. I did as you said and the first thing I
noticed is that IE started much faster than usual.
The typing problem is still present. I tried typing in various
websites' text boxes and it happened everywhere I tried it. The worst
case is at docs.google.com. It occurs on pages that are static also
(not web 2.0 stuff) but not nearly as bad.
Is it possible that it is because my cpu has a single core? I see
than most new computers have at least two so maybe Vista is configured
for two or more? I am just curious because I can not find any mention
of anyone else having this problem.
If it helps, the computer is a Sony Vaio VGN-TXN25N. It is a
suprisingly underpowered system for the amount of money it costs. I
guess it costs so much because of the weight (2.8 lbs) and small size.
Hi,
See:
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-NZ/Help/0e143ef9-10c6-44b...
Turn off all Ease of Access options for the keyboard. Go a level deeper,
click on "Set up filter keys" and deselect everything except 'Display a
warning message..." and "Make a sound..."
If that's not the solution, we'll take a closer look at programs loading at
startup.

Thank you again Don for your help. I did finally post the question to
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general since I believe that there
is a possibility that this is a bug that needs to be addressed.
Disabling various plug-ins, add-ons and programs seems like more of a
workaround solution. I have disabled all of these things and I have
experimented with disabling as many startup items as possible to the
point that my system is not fully functional. I started by disabling
everything not created by Microsoft and then even some of their
stuff. Still, nothing resolves the problem. It is definitely
improved by disabling things, but then my system is not adequately
functional. For example, I can disable active virus protection, but I
should be able to use virus protection and it does not cause a problem
for other browsers.
Regarding the use of a different name: I have only posted as drleeds
to this topic.
Regarding the use of other browsers: Firefox had a major
incompatibility problem with Vista when I first tried it. They have
probably fixed it by now. I do not like the way Opera works and it
does not work on many sites that I either need to use or like to use.
Safari is by far the best for mainstream websites. It is still a
little rough and it does not work on some sites that I need. I use it
for nearly everything. IE is the best for general compatibility with
all sites and I like the download interface.
At this point I am thinking about running Windows XP in VMware
Workstation to have access to functionality that I need without giving
up hardware compatibility of the pre-installed Windows Vista system on
my portable computer. I am already doing this with Redhat Linux with
good results.
I understand that there are bugs to be ironed out and I don't mind
waiting and being part of the process, but I wish that those people
involved in directly in this development process would acknowledge the
existence of these bugs and not always blame problems on our system
configurations. I am fairly good at troubleshooting and I have spent
a great deal of time trying to work out this problem both on my own
and with your help.
Tip: a fingerprint scanner is great for entering usernames and
passwords in IE. I'm sure that there are other similar solutions, but
my notebook computer came with one and I use it on many sites with IE
to avoid the frustrating problem of characters being dropped from my
password or username entry when trying to log in to sites.
