if I type slow, everything is fine but when I type normal, it misses a few letters, this is annoying. I’m using Windows Vista on an IBM thinkpad T43p. Any suggestions? I don’t have many pograms running either. ---

You are probably hitting a few keys simultaneously. Happens. ---

It keeps missing letters which is pretty annoying. I know that I’m not hitting more than one letter at a time, it’s like it just doesn’t realize that I’m hitting the key. Even when I type very deliberatly, it’s skipping. ---

Hook up a real keyboard to the thinkpad and you’ll be set. ---

I think that a program is running and everytime it does a check is when I’m missing the keys.
