Keyboard repeat

I was given a Microsoft keyboard that looks a lot nicer than the generic kb that I've got, so I installed it.

Problem is even tho I increased the Repeat Rate and the Repeat Delay to the maximum, I still cannot touch any key without getting a long string of repeat characters.

There's nothing in the bios that was useful.

I've heard that you can do some manual editing that will solve the problem but I don't have a clue how to do this.

I'm hoping someone here can tell me what to do.

You need to decrease the repeat rate, not increase it.

Maybe that's why it was given to you. Anyway, make sure you are decreasing the repeat rate, not increasing it.

I guess I was rather ambiguous.

When I said I increased the repeat rate what I actually meant
was I increased the INTERVAL between the repeats i.e.
I DECREASED the repeat rate.

I type pretty fast but apparently not fast enough to stop the repeat characters.
