There may be a setting somewhere that can fix that, but I can't think of it off the top of my head. Most of my keyboards that have had 'speed' settings had function keys (near the Windows Start key) and arrows on the f-keys similar to > and >> and >>>. Hit those at the same time and it may speed up the keyboard function.

The easiest way is to go buy a new keyboard. They're not very expensive nowadays. He may have spilled something on the keyboard and has a short in it. Something with a function similar to described above may be needed, and they don't cost any more than normal keyboards. Should be around $15-30 - any more than that and you may be getting functionality you don't need/want.
