I’m a 3d modeler and this beep plagued me for the past three months at my new job. It would happen when I use 3d max, and after the beep it acted as if ctrl or shift was held down, really annoying (which might be another problem…stickykeys?)

but anyway, I can finally stop listening to that deafening beep!

THANK YOU! That beep is so loud when you have your headphones on. It has startled me for the last time though! Thank you for posting this. My coworkers are going to love me, as we all have Thinkpads.

Thank you thank you! I have an IBM ThinkPad T43, and when I listen to headphones, no matter what level the master or wav volume is, (excluding mute), the beep would be way nearly deafening.

Thanks again,

Chris.

but this doesnt fix the ultimate problem. how can u set it that u can type 3 keys at the same time (or if u’re playing a game and are pressing >3 keys at the same time)

Trevor, the steps aren’t difficult– you can do do it within a couple minutes. AFAIK, typing speed has nothing to do with it; it happens when you press multiple keys at the same time. Although I /am/ a fast typist, so.. who knows :)

You’re welcome :) I still don’t understand why IBM included it in the first place. It seems to have caused a lot of people anguish over the years!

What the…[beep].

I’ve had that problem from time to time too and, like you wondered what the…

Still – it happens so infrequently to me that I won’t bother with going though the steps you used. Nice to know one can do something about it if it becomes a hassle. All it means is that my typing speed is increasing somewhere near the point it is a potential problem.
