First off I am sorry for any spelling mistakes or missing letters but my keyboard is fubar.

Basically I have to hold down each key a second for it to register on the computer, which means no touch typing and also say if I hold down delete for 5 seconds, it only deletes one letter. I have to press it for every letter I want to delete.

Its a laptop keyboard, I have not spilt anything on it, and it was working perfectly then next day its like this, I have tried a usb keyboard plugged into the laptop and that works fine.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

I sorted the problem, I done 18 updates via the dell website and one of them fixed the issue.

Very Odd issue indeed.
