I just re-installed MM6 on windows XP. I don't recall if I had this problem before, but, basically, my keyboard is slow. When I try to hit <enter> I have to press it several times or hold it down. Same with any key.
I'm thinking that perhaps something is lagging? (although clicking with the mouse is instantaneous)
Anyone have any suggestions? It's definitely making the game much less enjoyable.
I'm using the 1.2 patch and .exe that allows the game to run in XP.
I also tried setting the compatibility to win98.
Thanks.

Funny coincidence. This has recently been reported in my patch thread. GetKeyStateAsync must be the reason.

thanks. i turned my computer on this morning and was able to at least use the <enter> key easily
edit: I found the problem. It was another program that I was running. I went back to play the game after posting this and the keys were slow again. I only had a couple of things running, and after I shut the 2nd program down, the game worked fine again. Thanks for the replies.

UndeadHalfOrc, no, that's not the case. That would effect blasters speed though. The thing is that MM uses a deprecated feature of GetKeyStateAsync. If some other program regularly calls GetKeyStateAsync, MM misses key strokes.
