Windows Problem? Holding finger on buttons don't stretch the operation

I'm having problems with my keyboard, or a Windows customization. I'm not sure exactly what the root cause of this problem is. But anyways, I'm having problems. I'm about to tell you my problem, but I will tell you guys thru an example of what happens.
Example: I typed some text. And I want to erase some of that text using the Backspace key. I press it. But it only deletes 1 character before I have to press it again. And so I'm in the process of pressing the backspace key multiple times before I get rid of one word.
I want that to be resolved. How can I change (return) to the way where holding down my finger on the key will do the operation multiple times.
This is probably a quiet simple thing to do. But I'm too lazy at the moment to go searching for it on the web.
So, I decided to ask the smart and nerdy Tom's Hardware community! :-D
Thanks,
hpfreak

P.S. I'm not sure if this is already included i the my footnote or not. But I'm on an Asus G73jh, I've been exposed to some well-known issues on the G73, but this keyboard problem hasn't been one of them.
This is the first day I've been experiencing this problem. Don't bother to ask if I did anything new today. That might have caused this issue. If I remember anything, I will post here ASAP.

I made a slight mistake. It does delete the next character if I hold my finger down. But it is very slow. it is like 1 character per second.
