Run box problem.

This is more of an annoyance than a real problem, just hoping someone will have some suggestions. Sometimes when I bring up the run box (which I use a lot) it is very slow at accepting the characters I type.

This is more of an annoyance than a real problem, just hoping someone will have some suggestions. Sometimes when I bring up the run box (which I use a lot) it is very slow at accepting the characters I type. By slow I mean less than one character a second will appear on the line. I can type WAY faster than that and I'm impatient, so any help would be appreciated. Thanx in advance...

What the hell is a run box?
Anyway, try to edit your keyboard properties in the control panel or something...or the typematic rate in BIOS

Does this happen when typing elsewhere, or only in the Run box?

It may be a refresh prolem. Do you have a lot of icons on your desktop, or an extremely large graphic file for the background? Try booting into Safe Mode to see if the problem persists.

OP
It does only happen in the run box, and yes I do actually have LOT of icons on it. It never refreshes them though as I use no background at all and have ram to spare as you can see in my sig. I will try dumping most of them in a folder as a test though and see if it helps.
