...if it's a delay, change your resolution...
Challenge to Someone who really Knows Their Stuff
Alright, I'm about as green as it gets when it comes to computers, so talk down to me if you come up with anything.
On to the problem.
**Whenever I play a game, everything operates as it should or seems to, except for one glitch that makes most games completely unplayable... I cant actually tell you the problem so Ill just give examples. When I try to play system shock, I press the up arrow key to move forward (or any key to move in any direction), my character will keep moving forward after I let go of the keys and the computer stops accepting input. He will keep moving for a short distance until the computer is done processing at which time the input is freed - at least until I move again. It feels like the computer won't let me do things until its done thinking.
I feel in my gut like this is a graphics card thing.

Hi, welcome to TSF
Please post your system specs and graphics driver version.
Have you overclocked or made any changes in BIOS?
Are you using a standard keyboard or one that you can select profiles for different programs/games? Is it wireless?
Try lowering the 'repeat rate' setting in Control Panel > Keyboard.
A) change it to what
Change the screen resolution in the game's Display options to something lower or to your monitor's native resolution if it's LCD.
Press ctrl-alt-del to bring up the Task Manager, then click the Performance tab. Leave it open on the desktop, then play a game for a few minutes. When it starts to lag, alt-tab back to the desktop and post back with a screenshot of Task Manager so we can see your CPU and RAM readings.
