Thanks for the advice, but it seems that isnt the problem. There seems to be
some conflict with MS Word. I noticed that when I closed Outlook (a
background winword process starts at the same time as outlook) or any active
instances of word, my problem seemed to dissappear. Using the 'repair office
installation' or uninstalling and then reinstalling word seem to have only a
temporary effect.

If you have the language bar running in the taskbar (properties, toolbars, check it to show it) you may have the mic listening for
speech input, causing a delay in typing. I suggest going to the "Regional and Language settings" applet in control panel Language
Tab, Details button, Preferences, Language Bar button put a check in the box to "turn off advanced text services"

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be helping.
