Vista - CAPS LOCK INDICATOR - TURN OFF!!

Everytime I select the caps lock key a little pop up indicator flashes on
telling me that i'm in either upper or lower case - its driving me mad. How
do i turn it off???

I don't really know if it can be turned off. That "warning" message is there to remind you that the Caps Lock key has been turned on, and you are attempting to enter a password, for which the usual practice is either all lower-case characters, or a mix.

If you use a mixed-case password, then using the SHIFT key will invert the caps lock, so that upper become lower and vice versa.

This, obviously, will result in an incorrect password being entered.

Go to Control panel and click on the Keyboard icon. In the keyboard
properties window you should see a list of 'key names' and a description of
what they are assigned to. Locate the CAPS LOCK option and click he Edit
button. In the 'reassign' window remove the tick mark from the 'displays
CAPS LOCK status on screen' Now click Finish, followed by OK on the keyboard
properties window. The cap lock status should now not appear.

Mice. If this is the case, open SetPoint. Click the Tools tab, then click
the tab with Logitech eye. Under Status Indicators, uncheck the "Show status
setting changes" boxes. Click Apply, the OK, and that will stop the pop ups.

Thanks for your help John - it wasn't the broadband installation that did it,
it was the installer himself! i think i've found it now - he'd installed a
program called TODO - keyboard manager and i've managed to disable it and
have removed it from the start up menu.

thanks again everyone who suggested anything
