Problems with search bars

[gundamcyclone]

I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Ultimate.

I've been having problems with search bars since the upgrade. For instance, I would enter something, let's say "George Washington" into the wikipedia search bar. For some weird reason, the text would appear very slowly and some letters would be missing. So, I would see "Geore Wahinto" slowly appear in the search bar.

I've tried waiting a little longer after the site has loaded to make sure it has been completely loaded, but that didn't seem to work. This problem shows up when I use other search bars as well, since as getting "IND" in a stock ticker search bar when I clearly typed "INDU" to look at the Dow Jones.

Other than the search bar problem, all the other text I type (such as this post) appears on the screen just fine, so I don't think my keyboard is the problem.
