Multiple Keys Pressing

I need someone's help.

I'm facing a problem with the keyboard of my laptop. The keyboard doesn't allow pressing more than 2 keys (Like SPACE+LEFT for example), is there some way to fix this by allowing the multiple pressing (3 keys or more)?

Can you remember doing anything in an options menu, or do you have "Sticky Keys" installed? :s

No, I never use the acessibility options (Like Sticky Keys) and I haven't done anything on the keyboard. The Operating System of my laptop is (unfortuneatly) Windows Vista Home Premium.

I think it's the keyboard itself. That's a pity, because it's part of the laptop. :x How much did you pay for it? :P

It was from a Stock-Off sales. The price I bought this was 599€.

My mother payed that much for her laptop. I don't know what her situation in relation to keys is. Can you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete?

Yes I can. But it seems that keys combinated with SPACE or the Arrow Keys doesn't answer with 3 or more... :(

The keyboard I'm using now won't let me press Space, Up and Left at the same time, which can be a pain when playing Rayman 3.

That's the problem. :( I wanted to improve my score here but it seems I cannot until my desktop PC gets fixed... :cry:

Do you have the keyboard you use with the desktop PC? If so, maybe it's possible to plug it into the laptop.

Ahh, that might explain my difficulty controlling Rayman when locking onto a Hoodlum and doing other stuff at the same time...

My computer(s) beep when I press a key combination that isn't supported by the keyboard.

I'm not sure if it is really from the keyboard because I also think that Windows Vista is suspicious...

I suggest you try out your language or keyboard settings. Shift+Tab was impossible for me until I changed some settings, because that was used for cycling between Chinese, French, German, and English. I'd also check some of the programs that came with the laptop. For example, the Webcam software on this prohibits me from using C or V in conjunction with the arrow keys.

Does the Windows Registry has something about this too?

Try the solutions Phoenixian gave you. Don't screw around in the registry of Windows, because, believe me, you break more then you fix in there when you don't know what you're doing.

The last thing I tried to do was to contact by e-mail de Technical Assistance. The technician tried to help me out but the results are the same. :( It's hardware limitation... This is ridiculous, an Entertainment Notebook that doesn't allow multiple keys pressing! I cannot play the games here with the max experience!

She already concluded that it was a hardware limitation.

The same thing happens with my desktop PC with certain combinations of keys. It's just a hardware limitation.
