Keyboard?

[Backwards]

Im sorry to post another thread about keyboard problems, but i just cant figure this out. With certain games i am restricted to using only a set number of actions at one time and it is frustrating.

I have read through some posts and some suggestions say get a USB keyboard and put some controls on the numpad. I have done both of these. I own a USB keyboard and the only controls that arnt on the numpad are the movement keys.

So if anyone has any ideas on what i should do, please help.

Could you be a bit more descriptive?

This means what exactly? That the keyboard locks up when you try pressing multiple keys at once?

My keyboard does this also, when ever I press three or more keys at once it just beeps and locks up. How DO you fix this?

It's a keyboard limitation.

Either go through all the keys on your keyboard until you find a combination that let's you press multiple keys at once without locking up... or buy a gamepad.

That sounds like a good idea.

its not a keyboard limitation

its a limitation of the number of concurrent data streams acn be open on a ps2 port.

usb keyboards shouldn't have this problem and if they do your likely using a ps2 > usb converter.

thats weird because i do have a USB only keyboard. It's cable runs directly from the keyboard to the computer and the end of it is only USB. So yeah, dont know whats going on there but i shall try what you said.
