    Hey all,

    My laptop makes an annoying beep when I press the ,<right shift> + <e> + <c>. Has anyone seen this before? Can anyone tell me how to turn it off? What is it for?

    I appreciated the help.

    This could workd.

    Thinkpads tend to beep when 3 buttons are pressed at once. My T23 and X30 do it, my girlfriends Z61t does it, so I would imagine your T60 has the same setting.

    FIRST: Press and hold the F, G, and H keys together at the same time. You should hear a beep. Is it the same beep you're complaining about?

    To turn it off:

    Right click My Computer
    Hardware Tab
    Device Manager
    View button at the top
    Show Hidden Devices
    Non-Plug and Play Drivers
    Beep

    Right Click "Beep" and hit "Disable."

    Restart your computer, and it should go away. Try the FGH thing again.

    Hope this helps.

    Search this forum for the subject "T60 Beep!" and you'll find an old post that tells you how to turn this off.

    I second the "What is it for". I have never found anyone that actually knows why, just how to turn if off.

    it is really annoying when you are using the headphone (really really loud)
