Caps lock indicator remains on screen at all times

One of my clients has a T410 with Windows 7 64-bit installed.  When he turns on his caps lock, the indicator lights up and the same indicator appears on the screen and then stays present until the caps lock is turned off.  When caps lock is turned off the indicator disappears in about 3 seconds.  My other T410s are not experiencing this issue.  What can we do to change the indicator so that it only appears on-screen for 3 seconds?  I appreciate your help.
Solved!

control panel, display, settings, advanced, on screen display.  chk enable on screen display.  chk both options for "show indicator for a few seconds"

  • X240: No CAPS LOCK indicator; most Fn hotkeys don't work

    When I push CAPS LOCK, I don't see the CAPS LOCK indicator on the screen.
    Also, of the Fn hotkeys, only the mute, volume up/dn, and brightness up/dn work - the others don't.
    Refreshed hotkeys driver.
    When I go to "On Screen Display" tab in screen Advaned Settings, I see: Enable on-screen display checkbox; Appearance box, with color selections and fadeout time.  I don't see below it checkboxes for Caps Lock and Num Lock.

  • ****PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE**** PLEASE - Re: ON SCREEN CAPS LOCK INDICATOR

    can someone please help me before i pull all of my hair out.
    i have windows vista - 64 bit - the HP IQ500 touchsmart with a wireless keyboard.
    in the systray the num caps and scroll lock appears as little blue boxes (when on).
    everynow and again they simply disapper.
    i researced how to activate them again but cant remember how to do it.
    there is a way without having to mess with the registry and without downloading any program
    i just cant remember how. i know wherever it is...you ultimately get 3 boxes that you can check in order to turn the options back on.
    i am not talking about toggling, or sound, or mscofig and then boot.
    does anyone know the steps to turn the caps scroll and num lock indicator in teh sys tray back on
    oh, and right clicking on the toolbar and going to the notificiation area is not what i am referring to either.
    I checked in the control panel programs and the hp on screen caps lock indicator etc program is there.
    I reinstalled it nonetheless and confirmed it is installed properly
    When I right click on the notification area I do to properties/notification area/customize
    There are two lists there
    1. Current Items and
    2. Past Items
    For some reason I see caps lock - scroll lock and num lock under the past items
    There you are also able to change the status of the items to either Hide wne active, hide or show
    All three (caps/num/scroll) are SHOW
    I click apply OK then apply
    I restart the computer and nothing. The on screen caps lock indicator is still not in the notification area/systray area
    I repeat teh steps to ensure that the three have the SHOW option chosen and they are.
    So....
    Program is installed
    Items are check for SHOW
    Restart was done
    Ohhh and also...I went to MSCONFIG and made sure that the HP Keyboard Program was selected/check mark as one of the start up programs.
    There in a run command to activiate the 3rd party program (hp onscreen indicator program)
    When you enter the run command that I cant remember...you then get this option where there are three check boxes...one next to num lock - one next to caps lock and one for scroll lock.
    Once you check/select the boxes/options you want...presto they appear in the sys tray/notification area.
    I just cant remember the run command it to save my life.
    Please....put my mind to ease...cause I am losing it!
    I just cant seem to "walk away"...must be my OCD :-(
    Thanks

  • Y2P dim screen, caps lock indicator stuck on. Already disabled adaptive brighness... Warranty?

    Hi guys. Recently bought my second Y2P, this one second hand.
    Reason being my previous one was the 4GB i5 model, this one is the 8GB i7
    Now I've noticed a few things when I compare them. Firstly, and most annoyingly, the screen on this one is significantly dimmer than on my previous one. When I put it it max brightness it's only a little brighter than half way on my older one. When I put the brightness all the way down the screen turns off...
    I''ve already disabled auto dim in the battery settings, windows setting AND intel graphics control panel so I'm sure it's not down to that. I'm running the updated BIOS on both the systems also. This is unbelievably frustrating.
    Another annoying thing is that the CAPS lock indicator light is always on. Apart from when I press a button, it turns off whilst anything is being pressed (on the keyboard). It does this as soon as the machine is switched on.
    BIOS setting have been reverted to standard etc and nothing seems to be fixing any of it. I have also done a full reset of the machine on numerous occasions. Nothing.
    One last niggle is that I've noticed that the touchpad is ever so slightly sunk in (something that I probably only noticed because I have another yoga to compare it to) and there is some play in the touchpad which I would have noticed this regardless.
    Is it time to contact Lenovo warranty team? 
    Sorry for the long post, and I'd really appreciate any advice!

    Just to keep the thread updated in case by any chance someone has similar problems...
    I've contacted Lenovo who are saying it's likely a motherboard issue, I'll be getting a letter with details of how to arrange a courier to collect the system within the next few days. I'll let y'all know what comes of it!

  • Caps Lock indicator in lower right of screen

    When I hit Caps Lock, a display pops up in the lower right corner of the screen to notify me of the change.  It looks like this:
    http://i55.tinypic.com/15xez9.png
    How do I stop this from happening?  I've found a bunch of workarounds via Google, and they all either don't work for me or don't apply.

    Looks like you have a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard.
    Easy way (if you don't use Bluetooth)
    Click Start.
    Type MSCONFIG.
    Allow User Account Control? - click Yes.
    Click Startup tab.
    Remove check marks from "Bluetooth Software" and/or "HP Desktop Keyboard".
    Restart computer.
    If you want to only shut down the little graphical presentation and you want to keep the bluetooth icon, use the steps above to prevent "HP Desktop Keyboard" from loading, but do not remove the checkmark next to bluetooth.
    And then prevent the OSD for the bluetooth caps lock indicator by making a minor change in the registry:
    Click Start.
    Type REGEDIT.
    Allow User Account Control? - click Yes.
    To backup your registry (in case soething goes haywire), select Computer, click File menu, click Export, give a name and save.
    After backing up registry, open each of the following registry values (the little folders) in this path:  HKEY_LOCAL_MCHINE_\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\Gene​ral\
    Double-click the value KeyIndication in the list on the right.
    Change the hex value from a one (1) TO A ZERO (0).
    Close the registry editor window and restart your computer. You don't need to save anything - it happens on the fly (scary).

    Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

  • How to get Caps lock indicator in windows 8.1

    How to get Caps lock indicator in windows 8.1   ???
    i am using wireless keyboard KG 1061

    Hi bhargav0,
    I understand you would like a caps lock indicator in Windows 8.1. I admit, I don't know of any fix that simply shows you on the screen, but there is an auditory warning that you can implement if that would be of help to you. Take a look at the following video, Windows® 8.1: Make the Caps Lock key beep when pressed. I hope this will be of use to you. Have a great day.

  • T530 - Caps Lock Indicator Not Working

    Sporting Windows XP (32-bit) on my T530 and as of recently, Caps Lock indicator has stopped working. Mute, Volume, Screen Brightness indicators are working as per usual, only CL indicator is not working anymore. Tried upgrading Lenovo Hotkey Features, rebooted but still no go. Also, I can't remember where do I find settings for Caps Lock indicator? IIRC, it should be somewhere in Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced/OSD, but it disappeared. I can only enable/disable OSD, adjust fade-out time and background/foreground color(s). Options for Caps Lock indicator are missing. Anyone experiencing similar problems?
    T530: i7-3630QM, 4 GB DDR3-1600, NVS 5400M, 2x 500GB 7200RPM, 9-cell, HD+ 1600x900, Backlit US, WinXP Pro
    L430: i3-2370M, 4 GB DDR3-1600, HD 3000, 320GB 7200RPM, 6-cell, HD 1366 x 768, Win7 Home Premium 64-bit

    I had the same problem. The newest hotkeys integration package is gevu60ew.exe and it has problems on XP. Here is how I fixed it:
    Download gevu60ew.exe from the Lenovo website.
    Install gevu60ew.exe, don't reboot.
    Run the installation again from C:\Drivers\Hotkey\setup.exe.
    Choose the uninstall option and uninstall everything you see.
    Reboot.
    Go to your program files directory and delete the folder "%ProgramFiles%/Lenovo/HOTKEY".
    Download and install gevu43ww.exe, don't install the patch.
    I found the file gevu43ww.exe here (but if you've used System Update it's probably already saved on your computer, do a search for it):
    www.filefobia.com/goto/download/29321/10
    Reboot.
    Should be fixed, no promises but it worked for me.

  • Caps lock indicator

    My Pavilion P6320 came with the standard HP wireless keyboard and mouse.  No problems using these, but there is no direct indication on the keyboard as to whether the Caps lock and Num lock are on or off.  When either is changed an indicator appears briefly in the bottom right of the screen.
    Is there any way this indicator can be permanently displayed, for example in the task bar?

    Any way to have the caps lock indicator display on the monitor?  Can never figure out whe it's active.

  • CAPS lock indicator bulb

    My "CAPS lock" indicator light went out a couple of months ago and is driving me crazy.  It's a real problem when attempting to put in a password, especially with my bank.  After two tries the other day it locked me out (again) before I realized what I was doing wrong.   I have an HP Pavilion dv6833us Entertainment Notebook PC.  I just want to replace the little bulb in there.  Can I do it myself or do I have to bring it in for servicing somewhere?  Your advice would be appreciated.

    I have read threads about the number lock flickering
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2588658&#2588658
    perhaps it is just a small glitch. My number lock does the same when it is on screen save mode but goes away as soon as i power the screen. Not really bothers me.

  • Is there a way to keep Text2Speech locked in front on my screen at all times?

    I want to be able to access Text2Speech at all times.  It would be great to have it locked in the front of my screen at all times, even when I switch spaces.  Does anyone know of a way to do this?

    Hey Everyone,
    DISCOVERED THE ANSWER!!!!!
    I recently got one of these fun little squares and I just figured out (what seems to be) a simple way to keep the clock face on. (Though, I certainly agree with the comments about the ultimate impracticality of doing so for a long time, as the the battery in this thing only has so much to give.)  I'm running the latest update on it.
    This seemed too easy to believe when I did it! No need to keep it empty of music! No need to keep it in Fitness running! I think this works because the clock face, stop watch, and timer are all in the same segment of it's little nano operating system.
    If you turn on the stopwatch then switch back to the clock face, it will stay fully illuminated as long as the stopwatch is running. I think the limit on the stopwatch is 24 hours, but my guess is your battery is going to be dead long before that. I'd recommend setting the brightness super low if you're going to do this.
    Anyway, problem solved if you want to keep it lit for however long you like. (of course you have to sacrifice the stopwatch)
    Enjoy!!
