I have recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 17 laptop which I operate over a wireless LAN and then through a UK ISP. I have an awful lot of trouble with keystrokes being lost when typing info into internet pages, such as the very thing I am typing now. I am not aware of having this problem, at least nowhere near as badly, before, with other computers through other LAN connections.
The same does not occur when typing into local apps on the laptop, so it has to be something to do with either the wireless LAN or the internet, or the way the laptop processes keystrokes when feeding the keystrokes to the internet.
With my previous laptop computers (Fujitsu Siemens), I used to get dropped keystrokes when using the laptop’s keyboard, but no problem when usng an external keyboard plugged into the laptop. That applied for both internet and internal apps. I need to find an external keyboard to try out with the Dell Inspiron, which I haven’t done yet.
Does anyone know what the causes of the problem might be? Are there keyboard settings on the laptop which can be tweaked to improve matters?
Do others suffer with this when entering info into internet pages?
Clive.
