 |  Slow Keyboard
Okay, this is perhaps a stupid question, but can I make my laptop keyboard respond better to my touch? Currently when I type up to speed, it cannot keep up with me and I have to go back over each sentence to replace characters which are missing.

Woo! I fixed it! I went under control panel and changed the repeat delay from long to short. It is better, not perfect, but much better now. It is an HP laptop which I bought a few months ago. Recently, I decided to switch to Mac, so I won't be using it much longer but since I type so much it was worth looking into this. Thank you both for your answers.
