Hi all, all of a sudden, my backspace key will only backspace one letter at a time, not as quickly as it used to - i.e. if i hold it down, to delete a word quickly, it still just goes one letter at a time - seems almost to hesitate between letters. Did I somehow turn off a speed key or something?? thanks |

If you're running Windows, open the Control Panel and open 'Accessibility Options' (if you're looking at the Category View you'll have to also select the Control Panel icon in the screen that comes up); you may have accidentially turned on 'Filter Keys'. |

Also you can set the key repeat rate but I forget how to get to that. |

If 'Filter Keys' isn't the problem, Glock is describing 'Keyboard' in the Control Panel's classic view. |
