I'm not sure how to word the problem other than I can't use certain keys at the same time. For example, when playing games that require you to use the arrow keys to move and jump/duck I am unable to move to the left and jump (left arrow + up arrow) at the same time. As a result, I don't play many games when I get to a point where the jumps and what not are too far. This happens with other keys as well. In FPS I am unable to hold W to move forward and hit 2 to select my secondary weapon.
Some information that might help you:
- I am using Windows 7 64-bit
- I am using a Micro Innovations KB565BL keyboard
How can I fix this?

This is a hardware limitation, as the other answers suggest. I used to have the exact same problem gaming with an older logitech keyboard that had a 3-key rollover. Cheap keyboards frequently have this problem.
If you want to ensure that you never have to deal with this issue again, I suggest purchasing a das keyboard, which has N-key rollover. In other words, you could be pressing every key on the keyboard at once, and all of the keystrokes would still register.
