    Hello,I've got some problem with Caps lock on my m15x.When I press this button there is some small information (in right/down of the LCD screen)"Caps Lock:ON" or "Caps Lock:OFF".When I press this caps lock during game (like Assissian Creed) game go to windowed mode and only restart of the game can move game to full screen mode.
    Does anybody know how to remove this information from the screen?I don't know whre is problem,in windows vista or maby in some software o the m15x?
    I checked everywere but I couldn't fix it. :(
    Can somebody help my with that issues?

    I've never heard of that, but I don't think it's AW software (I don't have this happen to me). Could you maybe take a screenshot of it?

    its only just started showing on my system as i had all the problems with the touch controls so its got to be something in the AW control software.

    Yeah, that probably is AW then. I dunno what to say, though; I've never had that

    How to disable the capslock notification:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\General\KeyIndication

    set to 0
