How To: Fix ThinkPad Keyboard Beep

okie, first post, i jus formatted my thinkpad t60. and the first thing that was totally irritating is the beeping sound whenever 3 or more keys are pressed.

so here’s how you can disable it.

1. Open the Device Manager. You can do this from My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager.

2. Show Hidden Devices. You can do this from View -> Show hidden devices.
Okie, this part is quite important, cos if u miss this step, u cannot really proceed further.

3. Under Non-Plug and Play Drivers, open the properties for Beep. Go to Driver -> Stop, and the beeping will cease.
You can also Disable the device from starting up by Selecting Disabled in the startup type dropdown list.

    You are awesome.

    This thing always irritated the CRAP out of me when writing/listening to music with headphones on.

    Does this also stop the error or just the beep? because if i press multiple keys together i get the beep error and some of them are not pressed. I want to disable the beep but still get those keys pressed if u know what i mean (sorry for my english)

    Hi Andreas, yep, this totally removing the beeping sound, even when error occurs.
    Seems like there no direct way to selective filter the beep sound at this moment.

    Words cannot adequately describe the serenity I felt just now as I repeatedly mashed my keyboard with my palm. All that resulted was a string of nonsense text– no honking bleep nearly blowing out my speakers.

    You are a saint. Thank you.
