The speed of the backspace function in Vista is determined by the keyboard settings in your computer's control panel. To change the speed, you can go to the keyboard settings and adjust the repeat delay and repeat rate. A shorter repeat delay and higher repeat rate will result in a faster backspace function. You can also try using a different keyboard or adjusting the settings on your current keyboard for a faster response. Additionally, updating your computer's drivers and ensuring that your keyboard is functioning properly can also improve the speed of the backspace function.
