    i recently reformatted my e1505, and now when using fn key to adjust volume, i have two different meters showing. before there was a bar in the lower right corner, but now there is also an ugly/big/green volume meter along the bottom of my screen. does anyone know how to get rid of this new volume display??? Thanks in advance, this forum is verryyy helpful.

    Did you install some kind of wireless keyboard software or some kind of keyboard software? I installed something like that and it replaced my volume bar.

    yes i have mce, and yes its all green. but i didnt have that bar when i first received the it, not until after reformatting.. it just doesnt make sense to have to volume displays when changing.

    i don't have mce, but i'm sure you can turn it off (obviously, if it was off before). you just gotta dig around to find the setting.

    You want the program Dell Quickset. I actually prefer the big green bar and have had trouble getting it back since i used the dell windows mce instead of my own.
