I have a Studio 540S and when I type I have letters missing. There is times it in a delayed movement when typing. Can anyone please tell me what to do to fix the problem. It is driving me crazy. There was an article about this in Microsoft,but I don't understand what it means. Please if someone can help it would be deeply appriciated. It mostly happen or should I say it gets worse when I am on line.

Hi,
Please check if the same issue persists in 'Safe mode with networking'. You can follow the steps below to access safe mode:
Another step you can try is to go Start --> Control Panel --> All Control Panel Items --> Keyboard. You can customize the option for repeat delay and repeat rate -- > Click Apply/Ok to save changes -- > Restart your computer.
Please reply with findings.

It was working for a while now it is skipping letters again. Driving me insane. This is a fairly new computer.

A couple of things come to mind, including malware or a problem with the keyboard itself.
Which version of Windows are you using?

It's a drastic solution, but you might try downloading the retail ISO for your version of Windows from Digital River, burning it to DVD, and using it to perform a clean install (without reformatting). Your old Windows install will be archived and your data preserved, and if the keyboard problem is due to software issues, it should be gone.
