    You may have to use a different keyboard for that computer. Make sure that they are the same brand.

    Maybe it's some kind of virus or spyware/malware. You could run a check for both viruses and spywares.

    I doubt it is a virus/spyware. They don't usually tend to muck around with hardware and when they do they do it globally. I guess it comes down to the browser you're using. Maybe the connection is a bit slow and that can cause this kind of problem sometimes. Please tell me, are you using chrome, opera, firefox or Ie. If you are using Chome, some people have been complaining that it isn't working very well and I would switch browser to something like firefox. the long short of it is that we need more information.

    You may need a faster connection.

    You may need to update the computer.

    make sure you have the most up to date drivers for the hardware, usually you can download them from the manufacturer's website.

    Then that must mean, that the monitor and the keyboard doesn't fit with each other. Or maybe the keyboard is way old, and the monitor is like 08 new. I think you need a KB.
