    Fixing Keyboard Beeps

    This is an issue that's been bothering me a lot since I came back to the game in the past few months.

    For those of you who are having problems on some of the faster songs with lots of notes where you hit too many keys, your computer beeps you lag, you lose the combo, or even fail the song. Here I have come upon a solution that does not require purchasing a new keyboard at all. This will get rid of the beeping, which will then get rid of the lag.

    Mind you I am on Windows XP home edition, but this worked for me.

    1. Open the Device Manager. You can do this from My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager.

    2. Show Hidden Devices. You can do this from View -> Show hidden devices.

    3. Under Non-Plug and Play Drivers, open the properties for Beep. Go to Driver -> Stop, and the beeping will cease.


    I found this on a blog owned by Elliot Lee.

    Here's a link to the archive of this on his site : http://www.intelliot.com/blog/archiv...d-beeps-fixed/

          Just turn off NumLock.

          Solves it most of the time.

              Are you playing on a computer from school or work? They could have restrictions on altering the drivers.

                  To get to the properties on any thing, right click the icon, and select Properties. So in this case your My Computer icon or target line.

                      Many thanks go to you my friend for resolving this horrible sound. *BEEP* <.<

                      (Yes I am nuts.)
                      AAA's = 12
                      Latest AAA = Baby, Don't you want me.
                      Best AAA = Spontaneous Hydroxide. (Still...)
