question about a new keyboard

Well, new to me. A friend of mine gave me a Logitech G15 gaming keyboard the other day. I hooked it up and installed the software and drivers. It works great. Except ... when I play CoH. I makes CoH run S-L-O-W. I cannot minimize the window or switch between windows without it taking like 2 full minutes, and it locks up my pc during this time as well, while with my old keyboard I could switch between windows on the fly with no problems. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone else even have this keyboard?

I can't say what's causing it, but I can say i've been using G-15 keyboards for the last three years, the old one with 18 g-keys, and have never had performance issues from it.

I've had the old (18 g-key) G-15 on two systems (one that used to run xp and now runs win7, and another built after win7's release,) and the newer (display-less) G110 for some time now. I've never run into that in any game.

Did you download the driver software or use what came on the CD? Uninstall, snag the newest software, and give it a try. Just to see if it still happens.

I went to the website and downloaded the software. I'll uninstall and try again tonight. Thanks for the input.
