[SOLVED] Toshiba Satellite A100 Keyboard Problem

Larissa · 08-17-2008, 01:58 PM

My keyboard on my computer will only let my type a character once, if I want to type the same character more than once in a row (including backspace) I have to wait a few seconds. Why?

Check the keyboard control panel. Make sure the repeat delay is set to short. Try it again.

That didn't work :(

Does it behave the same if you are using an external keyboard?

I don't know, because I don't have an external keyboard.

Check the accessibility control panel keyboard tab and see if you see any checkmarks. If so, uncheck them.
