Default Cannot Overwrite

Hello, I did a reformat on my laptop and noticed two things when I installed
my Office 2003.
1) It lags. When I am typing a report in Word I purposely have to type slow
to avoid letters being omitted. Every other application on my computer does
not have a problem like this.
2) When I select a group of text and type something to overwrite it, the
selcted text is not replaced, rather it is moved to the right and my newly
entered left appears before it. How do I get the text to overwrite this such
text. I know of the insert button, but I only want text that I highlight to
be replaced in this fashion.

Thanks!
