Inspiron 8000 Laptop Keyboard Very Sensitive

Can anything be done about the keyboard on the Dell Inspiron 8000
being too senstive. Am getting too many duplicate letters when I
type. Have used many other machines and has not been a problem in the
past. Thanks for any help.

Albert, try this. I got it from the HELP on my I8000:

To adjust the key repeat rate

1.. Open Keyboard in Control Panel.
2.. On the Speed tab, make changes as follows:
a.. To adjust the amount of time that elapses before characters repeat
when you hold down a key, drag the Repeat delay slider.
b.. To adjust how quickly characters repeat when you hold down a key,
drag the Repeat rate slider.
Note

a.. To open Keyboard, click Start, click Control Panel, and then
double-click Keyboard.
