Re: "Alarm" beep when incorrect key combo pressed.

Hi Ben....
See if your sticky key function is on or off:
Hold down your shift key for 8 seconds and you will hear a beep, followed by a box that says Filter Keys.
Click Settings.
On the Keyboard, Sound, Display, and Mouse Tabs, uncheck everything there.
On the General Tab, only tick these two areas:
"Give Warning Message When Turning A Feature On"
and
"Make A sound when Turning A Feature On Or Off"
Click apply and OK.
That hopefully will solve your problem. In just resting an elbow or whatnot, I found several years ago that this feature can be a bother. Post back.
Take Care...

Hi all. I've got an IBM Lenovo laptop. The silly thing beeps every
time I hit some incorrect key combination. It usually happens when I
type too fast and mash several different keys at once. I hate that
stupid beep. I can't find where it's configured in the Control Panel -


Sounds and Audio Devices. It sounds like something that would have


used an old PC speaker.

Any idea how to turn this bloody thing off?

Thanks.
