Certain key combos don't work

I am having a problem with my keyboard. I'm playing a game, and when I try to hold the S, A, and C keys (I think.. it's either that or the S, D, and C keys) it won't do a certain one of their functions. It will just "click" every second or so.

Also, how do I decide what "KBC input frequency" in the BIOS to choose? I've tried all the settings (4, 8, 12, and 16 MHz I think), and I don't notice a difference.
 
just a guess, but you may need to turn off, or delay the typmatic setting so that a key press doesnt result in ttttttttttttthis, or at least not a quickly.

some PC will start repeating a keystroke very quickly, so the first key you press may be repeating before the others are recognized.

you may also just not have the keyboard controls set properly in the game. some require "programing" to create the combos you want, or just enabling them in the game.

 
Well here's another bit of information. :) I can use the S, D, and C keys and it works fine. (Which causes me to crawl, sidestep right, and go backwards) However, I get the problem when I try to use the A, S, and C keys. (Which should cause me to crawl, sidestep left, and go backwards)
 
strange indeed,

i think it must be something in the set-up of the keyboard options in the game, since the "moves" are there, just not being done properly.....
