RE: [Thinkpad] Keyboard beeps?

Someone else actually found a fix for this already; I wrote it down so I
would remember: http://www.randyrants.com/archives/000343.asp

Go to Device Manager and "Show Hidden Devices". Under "Non-Plug and Play 
Drivers" you'll see an item named "Beep". Disable that and the "random beep" 
disappears. Once done, of course, you can hide the hidden devices again.
