Keyboard repeat settings

T

Turkk

Ever since I have had this Windows Vista machine I have been unable to get
the character repeat and character delay settings to 'stick'. I change the
delay to short, the repeat to fast, click apply, and they are fine--until the
computer goes to sleep. I have to reset them several times a day. I have
two HP PCs running Vista Business & both machines have the same problem. HP
tells me this is a known issue with Vista. I had hoped Service Pack 1 would
fix the problem, but it didn't.

Any further suggestion welcome. Many thanks.

Hi,

If it fails during sleep mode, then it's a driver problem. It needs to be
updated to retain the settings through this mode, it's currently failing to.
Check to see if HP has a more current driver available for the keyboard, the
system may be using a stock Vista 101/102 keyboard driver that just provides
basic functionality.
