    I'm sure this has been answered before, but I couldn't quite get the right answer searching.

    Everytime I press capslock my Windows XP MCE e1705 overlays a "Capslock:On/Off" message on the bottom right corner of the screen. How do you get rid of this. It's annoying because I used caps lock in games for my comm button and it pops up over the gameplay. I used to have this disabled before I formatted my lappy but can no longer find the choice to disable the feature. Any help is appreciated.

    I first thought of Accessibility Options in the CP when I saw this topic, but after fooling around with some of the options I'm not so sure the answer lies in there.

    Quickset only gives me four options an looking under all of them (including advanced options and other things) led me nowhere.

    Thanks for the response.

    PS, wow, another Fargo person...

    For those who haven't had any luck yet I might have the Registry fix that might help you out. I tested it on my PC and it works. After some research, I found that it was related to BT software installed on my PC. If anyone is still interested in the fix just PM me.
