Keyboard beeps with multiple simultaneous keypresses

[davidhbrown]

Mostly just curious... this isn't really a problem, though I wouldn't mind turning off the beep if it can be done without interfering with other sounds.

This T61p (Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit) issues beeps when I simultaneously press keys that it apparently can't encode together. For example, I can depress and hold, in sequence, zxcv and each one appears; if I add b, the thinkpad beeps and the b does not appear. Longer sequences sometimes work. For example, axcbn,;

Well, anyway, I think I remember this has something to do with keycodes and scan lines and the like. Not like I need to have that many keys down or anything. But I was wondering whether the beeping can be disabled, whether it's an OS setting, in the BIOS, or...

Slated for XP, but perhaps Vista is similar.

Vista has the same "beep" driver also. It's install by default with all Windows OS i think.
