On Screen Sound Bar issue

[ShamrockRig]

Hey there, up until around a few days ago when i would adjust the sound there would be an on screen dialogue that would appear showing me how far my volume was turned up(several bars) also when caps lock was on it would have a little padlock show on screen, these have stopped appearing, any fixes? or am i just being silly?
Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael .. Is your Function keys working . Do you have Quick Launch Installed ?

Thanks for the reply, function keys as in volume buttons etc? yeah they all work, can still toggle caps lock on/of and toggle volume level as well as for quick launcher, unless thats something windows 7 comes with then no i do not

Hi again .. When i said Function Keys i meant your FN keys .. So they are working you just cant see the onscreen ?

 

[ShamrockRig]

yeah all function keys work, i just dont see onscreen atm, when i could see the onscreen dialogue the volume would turn from 0 to full in about 5 presses, without it, it now seems to take around 20 presses to get from 0-full, thanks

Yes that's what i thought the problem was .. You need to go to the Packard Bell website and download the Software for the Hotkeys .. If you cannot find it let me know your Model Number
