that shows that 98% of your system resources is just sitting around with nothing to do
go back and this time click on the performance tab and get a screenshot...
let it run for a few minutes before you take the screenshot

Just to see if it made a difference, I opened microsoft word and typed a bit to see if it would show up as a weird spike (Weird to me, anyhow, because I don't know what I'm looking at! ) But I didn't see a difference. (the typing lag was there, this time appearing as "type almost a whole line and nothing shows, then all of a sudden the whole sentence appears in a quick flash.")

Great news!

I did some research and found that sometimes Dell laptops have this (very aggravating) problem. One fix is to disable PCMService (on older laptops).

The other fix worked for me: disable the ATI Hot Key Poller (whatever that is!).
The information came from here: Andrew Gregory.


The typing is going great now! What a relief.


Thanks for your help!
