OK, this might well be my own fault - I went on a bit of a programs cleanup yesterday and could have uninstalled something I shouldn't have - but if that's the case then hopefully it may be easy to figure out what I need to put back. When using Firefox (IE is fine), typing into a standard text box on a standard form, like this one I'm typing into now, is taking my CPU usage as high as 100% and as such the text input is absolutely crawling across the screen and taking some time to catch up with my fingers. I tried re-installing Firefox but this did not help (though would I need to uninstall first? and if so is there a way to back up my settings?)

Any clues??
