    Cap Lock/Num Lock

    My cap lock/num lock icons have disappeared from the notification area/sys
    tray but they are 'enabled' in the options and set to display always; but
    they dont.

    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Thanks

    I would actually LIKE to remove the scroll lock, num lock, and cap lock icons
    from my system tray. Any idea how to do that?

    If you're using something other than a plain jane keyboard, look in the
    keyboard properties in Control Panel.

    Can you figure out what program is running them? This isn't a Windows function. Try right-clicking the icons.
    Does that offer any Options, or the ability to Exit?

    I am using the OEM HP keyboard, and there isn't anything in keyboard
    properties for removing those icons.

    No, icons don't respond to any clicks. I have no idea what program is feeding
    them.

    Odd.

    (You have to register to post, but you might find the problem already asked
    and aswered in the appropriate section for you model.)

    RE: Cap Lock/Num Lock

    The answer is NO and YES. No it is not a lap top and yes I did upgrade from
    XP but thanks anyway, I un-instaled and re-installed the keyboard software
    and this fixed it!
