Windows 7 Help

[kenny172]

Windows 7 has a feature when you press the caps lock key it flashes up on the bottom right hand side of the screen telling you that you have pressed the button.

not only is it unhelpfull but stops you doing anything until it goes away.

anyone any idea how i turn it off?

mine doesn't do it.

What keyboard you using? Microsoft one? if so might be in the drivers for that.

Its probably some software that came with the laptop, not windows.

My dell one does this but it doesnt interfere with anything

as above, keyboard drivers can do this, I have just bought a Logitec keyboard and it displays various things on the screen.

Doesn't happen on my Dell machine!

Nope doesn't happen on mine either.

 

[UncleGrumpy]

Not on mine either - thats made op feel much better i'm sure

On a side note, i reckon it's one of my least used keys, why is it such a problem?

it freezes the computer to tell you that you have pressed the caps button hence why its such a pain in the ass.

got it removed was a file named osd.exe i removed it seems to have solved it

cheers guys
