    I removed it from the startup menu, volume and brightness still work, it just doesn't display.

    I just use my eyes for a meter. I adjust the brightness til my eyes are satisfied. Screw the meter. It doesn't tell jack%&$*. The volume meter is crap also. Just adjust it til you are comfortable with it.

    ok... thanks, Relativity17. I think I can do without the brightness meter, but I happen to like the volume meter. Ta. Thanks for the suggestions, people.
