    Default Keyboard

    does anyone know how you can get your keyboard to recognise more keys at the same time?
    when i hold down a couple keys it stops reading them, is really effecting my gameplay.
    Ah yes, this is where the signature goes.

    Is stickykeys turned on? If so or if you don't know, goto Control Panel > Accessiblity > Uncechk all boxes on the first tab

    thats not it, i think it has to do with how windows reads the keys, because when i hold down to many keys the computer makes a beep noise and some key combinations work while others dont (with the same amount of keys down.)

    You running a PS2 keyboard by any chance?

    Certain key combos are difficult to get due to way keyboards are designed, however a more expensive keyboard maybe a good usb one should let you press up to 6 keys at once depending on the combo.

    Isn't that the keyboard buffer being used up? If so it's a limitation with some keyboards I believe.
