silly little keyboard

[DC Gringo]

I have a silly little issue but it's really annoying. Since my fresh
reinstall on my Dell laptop, my Win XP Professional keyboard settings are
such that I cannot rapidly space, backspace, delete, or repeat characters in
Word or any text editor for that matter. It moves along rapidly for a split
second, maybe 10 characters, then slows to a crawl. It used to fly across
the screen letting me delete a line in about 2 seconds. Now it takes about
10 seconds or more per line, very annoying.

I've gone into the Control Panel keyboard settings and adjusted it to the
repeat delay: Short and repeat delay: Fast. Any advice?

Hi DC Gringo,

Have you updated your video drivers since your reinstall?

Since the re-install have you made sure to apply all critical security
patches and taken steps to ensure your computer is spyware and virus free?

Yes, all security patches installed, latest spyware (Adaware 1.05), and
Trend Micro all up to date and predator free.

Yes, the latest drivers have been installed from Dell...

I have a KVM switch from Belkin...could it be that? I didn't have trouble
with it before...
