Windows Keyboard Question

[nsxownzme]

Is there a way to set it so I can press as many keys as I want at the same time. If I press like 3-4 depending on which it'll either make a *beep* noise or the keys I press wont be recognized. It's tough to play NFS sometimes cause I'll try to turn and hit NOS at the same time and wont work.. or in Ravenshield when I'm walking and leaning at the same time... anyone know how to turn this off!?

Thanks!

Personally, i've never had this problem but i've heard about it.
I think some keyboards are just built that way. Try a different keyboard.

This is a low-level hardware issue, I think. The only way around it would be to upgrade your computer (many old computers don't link more than 3 keys pressed at a time), change your key bindings in your games (in most games you don't press more than 3 or 4 at a time), or disconnect your system speaker (I did, and ahhh, no more beep crap on startup.) Try different configurations and let us know.

Actually. nsx' computer is spiffy and up to date, last I checked.

The same happens with mine, but it doesn't beep like it used to. Just doesn't work..

I've also heard about using USB keyboards stops it happening, its either the hardware or the keyboard handler, its something like that anyway that harks back to the old days which just never got changed/fixed/improved.

my keyboard makes that sound too, but i rarely have to press more than 3 (CTRL ALT DEL) buttons at one, i have no idea what program ur using that requiers u to press 4 or 5 buttons at once.
