Try it with a smaller screen resolution, then play it, see if the delay still occurs.

just tried and theres still a delay, i went all the way down to 800x600.

What processes are you actually running in the background?

I see that your screen resolution now is 640x480 @60Mhz, though you have 53MB free memory (which is rather low), and your CPU load is at  100% (which is certainly not normal when you're not playing or doing anything (sig states: not playing anything))...

Press CTRL-ALT-DEL and thus open the task manager. Post all the processes you see in the process list, but only those with your Windows login name after it (thus not the ones with system after it)...

i took a screen shot as the keyboard is laging now. (gta3.exe is the game btw)
EDIT: the nothing playing bit is for WMP

Nothing out of the ordinary (except for some processes which aren't needed)...

Try to start your computer as clean as possible. Don't start all the stuff you otherwise start when you boot up windows (temporary cleanout the Run registry keys). Certain tools for Windows like theme-programs and patches may cause this too....

Also, revise your graphics card and driver settings. Wrong settings can seriously lag your whole computer.

Revise the game settings themselfs. Test if the lag is still there if you run the game with minimum settings (degrade the video quality, etc...)

Other than that, sorry....
