I cannot use more than 3 key at the same time

camilo — Thu, 29 Jul 2004 08:54:36 GMT

Hello,

I usually use my notebook for work, but I have one game which I play quite often: Fifa 2004.

I just installed it in my recently acquired vaio and I have a problem. If I press 2 arrows at the same time while pressing another key, only one of the arrows will work.

Is there anything I can do to solve this?

Thank you

The only way I managed to defeat this problem on my old Tosh was to use an external keyboard

Isn't there any software upgrade to solve this? I had never seen this happen on my past laptops ...

Not that I am aware of.

I have heard that with USB Keyboards 3 keys max can be pressed at any one time.
I would imagine it would be the same with Built-in Keyboards.

If you have a PS2 Port on your laptop, i recommend you buy a PS2 Keyboard and use it if you are really desperate.

BTW, I don't know how computer literate you are, When i say PS2, i dont mean the Playstation 2, PS2 is a little keyboard/mouse socket.
