Hi Everyone,

I bought this laptop: http://www.dabs.com/products/lenovo-b5400-intel-core-i5...

It came with installation disks for Windows 8.1 Pro, so I have that installed. All the drivers are perfect, all updates perfect. Just need to be able to press more than 3 keys at once, so how can I remove this beep and not being able to press more than 3 keys?....

Thanks :)

This is perfectly normal and not anything to worry about it. I believe what you are describing is called 'Keyboard Ghosting' and it often occurs in low-value keyboards. It if bothers you that much, you can buy an 'Anti-Ghosting' Keyboard.

I can't get a new keyboard, it's a laptop... Didn't you look at the link? And the laptop is not "low-value". There has to be a way to turn off the beeping on laptops.

You can get a new keyboard. Many people who buy laptops do. Just hook it up through USB.
I didn't mean the laptop was low-value, I was referring to desktop keyboards. Also, the link doesn't work.

Here you go: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-G510-15-6-inch-Laptop-Integrated/dp/B00H525N4Y

This keyboard is not replaceable and there is no way I would do it even if it was replaceable. NO way am I using an external keyboard for a laptop.

Using an external keyboard is the only solution I am aware of. It will also keep your new laptop in great condition for longer, because you won't be using the integrated keyboard.
