Hi Glenda. What you are describing is called latency. It occurs because it takes time to route and process midi commands. There are ways to reduce the latency to acceptable levels.

The first, and best, way is to use ASIO drivers instead of MME. If your onboard sound card has ASIO support you should see a selection if you go to Opt|Midi Audio Settings. In the setup dialog choose audio drivers. In the audio driver setup dialog look for a drop down in the top right corner. It'll say MME. Click the button and change to ASIO. A dialog will come up showing the available ASIO drivers or you'll get a message saying there are no ASIO drivers installed on your system.

If you have no ASIO drivers available you could try Asio4All. Google it and download. When you install it you can run it as above.

Failing that you can try adjusting the latency setting in the Midi/Audio setup dialog. Just increase the setting (around 430 ms usually works) untill your keys play without a noticible delay. I think there's also a feature to help you set the latency automattically.

Basically, adjusting the latency delays BiaB output to match the latency of the keyboard.

Hope this helps a little.
