keyboard question/problem?

i have a windows xp and its fine and everythingi jsut noticed that when using my keyboard if i push 3 or more buttons at once or swiftly my comp makes a beep noise and the buttons dont respond to what i pressed during that time.Its not my keyboard cuase i used a different varity of keyboards and they all do the same tihng. They stall for a second if i press 3 or more buttonsAny help?(if you needed to know this i dont use stickkeys)

Answer:

Actually it is the keyboard you use. Most keyboards today limit the keypresses to 3 or 4 for some unknown reason. There are keyboards made that actually boast the number of simultaneous keypresses that are allowed such as the Razer Tarantula. There are a couple others too. It seems to be a hardware limitation found in MOST normal keyboards nowdays back in the windows 95 and before days keypresses didn't seem to be limited at all. Then again they were 5 pounds. Good Luck!
Hmmm if it does not respond, theres a program running,cancel it by pushing ctrl+alt+del.click end task. if it does not work push reset button. hehehe
It really DOES depend on the keyboardit's just a coincidence that all of your keyboards stop at 3 keys. Some are different. Mine, I can press up to 4 keys at the same time. It's normal, nothing to worry about.
