On my PC at home if I am on the internet and click on the address bar or a text box and leave the cursor there text just starts appearing as if it is being typed, this in turn slows down my pc. It only happens on the address bar or text boxes while on the internet.

I have ran a virus scan but this did not find any viruses. Can anybody offer any suggestions as to what could be causing this...

Usually it's due to text recognition (ie: office xp). It interprets whatever it hears...like if you have a tv or radio on, etc.

This is fairly easy to disable. Go to Control Panel>Add/Remove programs>MS Office. Click the 'Change' button. Select the 'Add or remove features' button and click Next. Expand the 'Office shared features' list. Now expand 'Alternative user input'. Click the dropdown menu next to 'Speech', then select 'Not unavailable'.
Click the 'Update' button at the bottom of the dialog box and you are good to go.

If the Language Bar is visible on the desktop or your taskbar (assuming you do not need it), select 'Options>settings' on the language bar, then under 'preferences' at the bottom click 'language bar' and uncheck the box 'show the language bar.....'. This should do the trick. Regards, Rex
