Temporary Keyboard lockup

[socks]

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.

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
