Hi guys,

I have a really annoying problem with my keyboard. If I hold certain keys at the same time, by keyboard beeps. This is especially annoying for games.

Is there anyway to stop this from happening? I tried increasing the keyboard buffer size from 64 to 100 in the registry, but it did nothing.

Thanks.

Yep it does :). I had this problem a little bit during games. Especially when you got to side step, walk etc you press so many keys it can beep at times.

It's accessibility options in Windows XP. Press the shift key 5 times rapidly, does it do it then?

You can configure these (i.e. turn them off) by going to Control Panel->Accessibility*

It might be some sort of alarm system that happens when keys are pressed for a certain length of time.

I have absolutly no idea how to stop it though :\

Try Control Panel -> Keyboards and have tinker with things in there.
