Default Repeating keys missing...

I upgraded guy's Microcenter desktop from Vista to WE. Both Vista, and now
W7 have a strange characteristic - when one holds down any key, it does not
repeat. It just appears one time. Any idea how to get "repeating keys"
back? TIA, Paul

It might be a setting in the BIOS, since it affects both OSes.

I'll tell him to go to Microcenter, then. I doubt he ever got into his
BIOS.
