    Hi all,

    I've had my TZ for a few weeks and I'm wondering if anyone else has had the keyboard keys lag or lock when pressing too many keys at once?

    Or perhaps I'm just typing too fast that the keys cannot recognize it? I've searched everywhere online and haven't heard of this problem.

    I know it pertains only to the TZ because I type the same speed on my other desktop computer w/ very few typos. When I get on the TZ, my typos are 2x to 3x more.

    Any comments appreciated.

    Thanks.

    That happened to me once, not long after I got my TZ150 - several keys stopped registering for no apparent reason. I re-booted the system and it hasn't happened since. I blamed Windows Vista, which is usually a safe bet. ;)

    I'm running XP on mine and do not have this issue, and I am a fast typer (98 words per minute)

    I wonder if it is Vista causing the lag. But I don't think so. My other desktop is Vista as well. I have the faster processor and 2GB of RAM on my TZ.

    I wonder if it could be the battery setting. Early when I got it, I changed it to "high performance" battery setting. I read that high performance is actually slower than the default "balanced" setting. I changed it back and will do some tests later to see if that resolves the problem.
