    How do I remove the beep whenever I press down 3 keys at the same time?

    I didn't know where to post this, so since I have a T400 I decided to post it here. Anyways...

    There's this beep that triggers whenever I press down 3 letter keys at once, and it's really loud, annoying, and I find myself tripping it often. Can someone help me disable it if possible?

    I guess you could disable that beeping sound by going into Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Sounds and change the Default Beep audio file to None

    I don't think it's the Windows beep the OP is referring to.

    I believe there is a setting in the Thinkpad BIOS that allows you to disable those beeps.

    It also seems it only does it with certain keys... for example, BNM or HJK

    Windows Key + R key:
    type 'devmgmt.msc'
    Go to 'View', 'Show Hidden DEvices'
    A branch tree appears 'Devices that are not plug and play'
    Browse to 'Beep', doube click
    Disable it, and also on the Controller tab to disable it
    Press OK. DONE.
