[SOLVED] Keyboard hold down problem

Hi everyone,

I recently changed my CPU/MB/Video and installed a new windows again. But ever since I am using my new computer I have problem with my keyboard.

When I hold down any key (e.g. "a") it types aaaa for a new times (4 times here) and then it stops. This problem is more severe with Backspace key and also is very annoying when you press arrow keys to browse a page.

I have checked accessibility options and everything is fine.

Re: Keyboard hold down problem

Open control panel in the left pane select classic view if not already in classic, In the list double click on keyboard set the repeat delay longer and the repeat rate slower.
