    does anyone know if there exists a program to show a volume bar on screen when i adjust the volume? ist so unhandy to go to sound manager to chek if volume is high or low.
    if it does not exist it cant be that hard to make ?

    Are you using Vista? If you are, press Windows Key+X and the Windows Mobility Center screen will appear. Volume is one of the settings shown.

    Well, for my IFL90, I downloaed Microsoft IntelliType Pro so I could change the function of my Wow Video/Audio buttons, but it also had a nifty little bonus. Once you install it, and hit Fn-F7 or Fn-F8, it shows a little volume bar on the bottom right corner.

    So, that should work out for you.
