Hello

I have recently bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop, with Vista. It works
fine.

If I move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen I sometimes get a faint
row of 'buttons' appear for the function keys F1 ... F12.

I cannot find an explanation of this in the Toshiba docs which came with my
pc.

The 'buttons' overlap other icons on the desktop, and are confusing.

Can anyone give me advice please ?

Can I turn these things off ?

Thanks

KK

They're called "Flash Cards". Type flash cards into the search box on the
start menu for more information/help.

Thanks, this was very helpful
