why can't I press more than 3 keys on the keyboard at the
same time? If I press 4 the motherboard beeps, I ask this
because in some games that I play im requiered to press 4
keys or more at the same time to do some actions. Is
there any way to fix this?

thank you
 
I have difficulty believing a game programmer would configure such a
setup for a Windows based keyboard. Would you be so kind as to provide
the game name?
 
Actually, this is the case with all of the games I have ever played (to
the best of my knowledge). I am not sure if this is by design of
DirectX, the programming, hardware limitations or what, but this is how
it is on my games at least.
 
To my knowledge there are NO scancodes the keyboard can produce using
more than 3 simultaneous keys, therefore the programmer would not have
useful input if the game instructions said to press 4 keys at the same
time. I suspect the instructions are to press a SEQUENCE of keys, which
would of course work.
