I've been in Technology for over 25 years and I've seen a lot of trends come and go, and a lot of things stay the same. I've spent many years in Enterprise Computing, not the Starship, but big companies, fortune 500 and such. I also travel, surf a bit, sing (not well) and play a bit of guitar. I've had this blog for quite some time and there's quite a mix, here, This is where I put all my random geeky musings and updates.

Get rid of the annoying beeping when playing games on Windows XP
My machine recently started beeping when pressing multiple keys on the keyboard.
As I understand it, the Windows keyboard buffer is filling up and it's giving me a system beep sound. My games function properly, I just get this annoying beep when I try to hold a key or a key combination found.
I saw some solutions like trying to increase the buffer size in the registry, but the one I opted for was to go to Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager
Then select View->Show Hidden Devices
Then in non-plug and play devices, right click on beep and then disable.
After you re-boot, the beep is gone!!
