Hello, I'm running Windows 3.1 on a Sperry '286 machine souped up with an extra 4 MB of memory & a co-processor. It's sluggish, but meets my needs... My only problem is that entering data from the keyboard is a tedious experience. I may have to hit a key two or three times before it registers, and then it might double the character on my screen. I figure that my machine is just too slow. But here's where it gets wierd. Word for Windows uses the keyboard just fine. That is, when I'm typing in Word for Windows, they keyboard works great, BUT when I go to save the file that I've typed, I have the same problem. Oh, and after a while, what I am typing "flips", that is, my lower case letter come out in upper case, and if I put the shift lock on, I get lower case. And, no matter what I do, I can't type any numbers. Does anyone one know of any software setting or routine that I can add to make Windows check for a keypress more often? Thanks in advance, -Al (wirtes@mace.cc.purdue.edu)
