Vista - Keyboard repeat rate/repeat delay speed automatically resets

09-19-2007

Our office has recently installed two HP computers (slightly different) both
running Vista Business. With both PCs we have the same problem: when the
machine is put into sleep mode, or shut down, the key repeat rate and repeat
delay speeds reset & slow down. This means that every morning we have to go
into Control Panel & reset both at the highest levels--otherwise the curser
moves slowly & we can't type fast. For some reason Vista just isn't setting
these as 'permanent' settings.
I have spent a great deal of time on the phone with HP and they say it
has to be a software problem in Vista. Any ideas? Many thanks!

Be sure to press the "Apply" button after making changes before pressing the
"OK" button.

Are there any new Vista keyboard drivers available from HP?

I have the same problem under XP on two computers with
a KVM switch. The repeat rate switches to 'slow' again
and again for no reason.
I've made a simple program that set the parameters
back to minimum delay and maximum repeat rate. So I can
switch back with a single click.

Yes, I clicked apply; and no, there aren't any updates.
