Hey,

Basically I turned off my keyboard thing where it comes up on the screen when you turn the forum down, turn caps lock off etc.

I did it on AVG tuneup, but once you remove it, obviously it doesn't show up on there anymore. I didn't realise I removed it - and would like it back - as I can't tell (without typing) if num lock, caps lock etc is on or off.

Any idas how to turn it back on? By the way I have a Microsoft Wireless Laser 5000 Keyboard

Do you not have status lights on your keyboard? I thought wireless keyboards had the 'A', '1' and 'F' status lights that indicated different things.

The "A" light on the receiver indicates that CAPS LOCK is turned on. CAPS LOCK toggles between uppercase and lowercase letters.
The "1" light on the receiver indicates that NUM LOCK is turned on. NUM LOCK toggles the 10-key pad between numbers 0-9 and functions, such as HOME, END, PAGE UP, and PAGE DOWN.
The "F" light on the receiver indicates that F LOCK (function lock) is turned on. F LOCK toggles between standard function keys (F1 - F12) and alternate commands, such as HELP, UNDO, NEW, AND PRINT.
You don't have these, right?

I do on the receiver but I hide this under stuff - it isn't exactly attractive :L

I just liked having the small box that flases up[ in the corner of the screen when you changed things. Made it easier, so would like to have it back :P

Ah right yeah, I think that's the OSD (On Screen Display). I would try and search for it in utility or system tools or whatever, it has to be hiding somewhere!

Will look in to those thanks.

Yeh On Screen Display seems about right. As I say it's pretty helpful - especially in terms of volume - since I know exactly how loud I like it on the bar :P
