[scratches head]
That's a new one on me! Hopefully someone will have the answer; I'd like to hear it. |

That's messed up.
Just so where clear here: your not waking your up on the first keystroke. Maybe just check to make sure your harddrive isn't powering down after a few minutes and that first keystroke is waking them up, look under power settings in control panel. The only other idea I have: Most laptops come pre-loaded with an app to control the touchpad and sometimes the keyboard, maybe something in there is causing it? |

How long since your last defrag of the hard drive?
Have you installed any programs lately that might be running in the background sucking up memory and CPU cycles? What OS, CPU, memory in your system? |

Power saving settings possibly set very aggressive?
What is happening is that the CPU is missing the IRQ from the keyboard. If the CPU is really busy with a system task running at a high priority this is more likely. If you've got hard drive indexing turned (default setting) on I would shut it off. My Computer then right click on C:/ drive, properties, and on the first tab uncheck the index service that allows faster searches of your hard drive and slows every thing else down the other 99.99% of the time. |

No, not waking it up. It can happen if the PC is left for only a minute and the application is on top. Definately a head-scratcher. I'll check the power down settings, but it does this even if it's plugged in. ed: Indexing is off, 640 MB RAM , nothing grabbing CPU cycles. |

Go in to the “Windows Task Manager” to the “Processes” tab look at the CPU percentage for each process and if any process is using any CPU time right click on that process go down to “Set Priority” and make sure nothing is set for “High” and especially “Realtime”.
Check the hard drive for fragmentation. |
