I noticed that if you hold down around 6 keys at the same time your keyboard jams up and the computer makes that oh so annoying beeping noise. is there any way to fix this? or is it diffrent for diffrent keyboards? |

It's a hardware limitation on IBM PCs (and 100% compatibles: OLD SCHOOL TERMS!). | |||

Originally posted by paraplayer lol. Mines a Dell, the sound is less annoying. Its just 1 beep. The only way to aviod it is not press 6 buttons at the same time :p |

It can happen with as few as 3 keys. It happens because of hardware limitations on keyboards and the PS/2 port. I don;t think USB keyboards do it. I found out on my keyboard that the W, A, and S keys, when pressed together, will do it. I found out by accident in a game once. |

Actually, I hear several USB keyboards are plauged with the same problem. I actually recall one doing it to me, too, so... bleh. Sometimes you can get away with up to 7 keys, probably more -- just depends on the 'region' you push them in |

Did you know that "well don't do that then" is in the Jargon File? "My keyboard makes this annoying beeping noise when I hold down six keys at once." "Well don't do that then!" |
