Hi everyone.

so when on adjusts the volume or screen intensity via the keyboard, does a little bar come up on the screen to reflect the aformentioned changes?

Probably a stupid question, but...
I have a 9300 and I don't have the bars either--I turned them off via Quickset. I could conversely turn on on-screen bars for volume and brightness...
I don't know enough about the 700: does it have Quickset as well?

After I bought an external usb keyboard for my 700m, I installed the driver that came with it and I do get an osd for volume. It was a microsoft intellitype pro, you might be able to find the driver program on their website.

you can get the volume bars by downloading a widget for it...

but then with widgets you need more software.. the whole microsoft software deal seems like a better option

well, just dload the driver for intellitype pro:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

and during installation, choose internet keyboard. when done, just try using the fn key, the volume should be there near the right end corner of the screen.

Yup any keyboard/mouse that can adjust the volume will add on screen controls whenever you adjust the volume. So logitech, microsoft, whatever one you like.
