Keep a list of all of the keys that are down at any one time, and react to that data, instead of direct KeyDown and KeyUp messages that come through your application.

Be aware, though, that most keyboards can only support at most 5 or 6 keys down at one time, because of how keyboards are made (not a software thing, its actually the keyboard that causes the problem).

like zaie said most keyboards wont accept more than 5 keys at a time (some only 3!) maybe it's also an issue of the pc, that I don't know
but for at least getting as many keys as your keyboard supports use the GetKeyState API
