Override windows onaly allowing three buttons being pressed
In most games you can press three or more buttons at the same time without your computer beeping. I know that there is a deafult setting on windows computers to onky allow three buttons on the keyboard to be pressed at a time, but is there a way to override this in my game?
I am creating a racing game where i would like to accelerate, turn, and shoot, but my computer beeps when the three buttons are pressed.
And scruipts to disable this when running my game?

This has nothing to do with the operating system, and is not something you can fix in software. It is caused by how the electrical connections in your keyboard are made. Basically, after three or so simultaneous keypresses, it is either impossible for the keyboard to figure out which fourth key you're pressing, or even that you've pressed a fourth key at all.
