It seems that you have too many programs running on your computer. Try to close some programs and see if it gets better. It is also good to scan for virus at your computer because they may slow down your computer as well.

Check your task manager see if something is taking up massive amounts of processor usage. I ran in to that one a computer at work once, it was caused by some hp printing software that would literally take up 99% processor usage. To get to task manager just ctrl + alt +del and click on Task Manager click on the processes tab and look for something that is using massive amounts of CPU click on it then end process then answer yes on the terminate process screen. If you want to track down the program that is using that process the easiest way to find out is to run a program called Process Explorer. It will tell you the file name and where it is located at. If you locate the file you could run msconfig by clicking start run, then msconfig then disable that program and reboot or just run msconfig, disable everything, reboot and see if the problem still exists. If the problem goes away just selectively start reenabling the programs and rebooting till the problem reappears, you have then located what is causing your issue

try this: temporarily disable your virus scan to see if that improves the speed. If so, then reinstall virus scan and make some configuration changes. Double check your display refresh speed. How good is the video card in the machine? How many processes are you running at the time you are typing (should be under 40)? Check task manager (ctrl+alt+del) and select task manager, select performance and see what your utiliization is. It should be constantly under 15%. totals/processes should be under 40. Physical memory should be greater than 500000.

that used to happen to me on my PC, because my memroy card was too full and I started doing things before it was fully loaded. I don't know if that'll help you though! better call the company just in case.
