    Ok, I just got my M140 and love it. However, I somehow lost the volume bar the is shown in the bottom right when adjusting the volume with the front controls. How can I get it back? Thanks.

    On my 9300, that is a function of QuickSet. If you uninstalled or disabled Quickset then that would be why you lost it.

    Ok, QuickSet is one of the startup programs I disabled. I just enabled it again, so we'll see. Thanks

    It is quickset that has the pop up boxes. Quickset also controls some of the FN buttons and "press play" to start Media Direct/Experience.

    Also, on a side note, you do not have to have Quickset in order for your media buttons to work (if you have media buttons). I've had some questions about quickset being the Media Button software, but that is not the case.
