Problem: Slow typing in any application, selecting more items using CTRL almost impossible, shut down was slow and sometimes blocked. This problem appeared on my laptop, and I first thought it was a virus, but not virus was found. I reinstalled Windows XP SP2 and drivers but the problem persisted.
Solution: Check your running processes in Windows Task Manager. Do you see ati2evxx running twice? That is the ATI HotKey Pooler Service. Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, find this service and disable it. You should find it on "Automatic". Restart computer.
Variation of the problem: The slow typing problem appeared also on Dell Inspiron 1520. There the cause was even stranger: adding contacts to Outlook Express 6. You can read about it here: Andrew Gregory - Slow typing on my laptop
