Ye ol' laptop

Post by ELMOTM »

Hi. New to forums.
When I have more time, I'll put some more effort into this OS.
Currently, wasdx keys do not work well, so I'm using onscreen keyboard. PAINFUL!! Every now & then, the letter 'd' will lock up because it wants to, hence my 2010 ASUS will lock up because its busy with 3.9 million d's in process. I have posted specs below. Yes, it has a 2018 Samsung HD. So, I'm wondering about the following screenshot and is there a quicker way to end this crazy process? YES, I will try and fix the keyboard. Took me 20 min to post this! :(
Thanks for your time.

Sounds painful.

Does it do the same in Live Mint? Why just the letter 'd'?

I would definitely try an external keyboard on it.
