Argh....annoying little 8600 problem (on screen indicators when I press caps lock...)

How the HECK do you get rid of these on screen indicators that pop up whenever I press caps lock, num lock, or scroll lock. It's not the Dell Quickset utility, and I can't figure it out. It just pops up in the bottom right of the screen.

I just freshly installed XP again last night, and it's started doing this. No idea why...

Has the Dell Truemobile 300 driver (Bluetooth) been installed on your system. There is a registry entry for this feature you can change to turn off the notification behavior. I do not have the driver installed on my system (using SP2 BT) but I've done this myself in the past. Look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Widcomm\Btconfig\General (or something very close to that). There is an entry to hide or show key notifications.

Excellent. Thanks! It was indeed that. I changed the setting from 1 to 0, rebooted, and it's working now without onscreen indication.
