Re: Typing in web email is very slow

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

1. Typing in web email window is slow. The curser moves slow. I type normally
but after sometimes the characters are visible on the screen.
It is a new laptop only few days.
It is Dell C2D with 3 GB RAM 320 GB HDD
It was preloaded with McAfee Suite. I will remove this and give a try.
I am not using any spyware applications on my laptop just antivirus.
Windows and Mcafee is updated daily.
Otherwise out of web mail my laptop is just normal.

Hi,
I purchased a new Dell laptop with inbuilt Vista 32 bit. When ever I type
emails in web based like hotmail and yahoo, my keyboard cursor goes very
slow. It is really very slow and I have to type the matter in word and then
cut and past it. I restart the system but same in both hotmail and yahoo.
Please help.
My laptop is updated as of date for wndows and all requred drivers.
I am using McAfee AntiVirus software.



Several points (and questions):

1. Are you saying that typing in IE is very slow, but typing elsewhere
is OK?

2. How slow is "very slow"? Please put a number on it, even if just
approximate.

3. What is your hardware configuration? In particular, how much RAM do
you have?

4. How long have you had the computer.

5. You say you use McAfee AntiVirus. Sorry to tell you, but that's the
second worst anti-virus program available. Only Norton is worse.

6. You say what anti-virus program you use, but you say nothing about
what anti-spyware software you run. Unless you run at least one (and
preferably two or more) anti-spyware programs, you are not adequately
protected.

7. Is your security software (McAfee and anything else you run) kept
up to date?

Despite the above questions, I don't strongly suspect that your
problem is malware infection, if it's only IE that seems slow. But
answer the questions, please.
