Default OSD for vista? :(


So, on XP i had a OSD (On Screen Display) so when i muted my computer or
turned volume up or down i could see it on my screen. That program no longer
works on vista. Does vista have a built in OSD that can be actived or is
there a differnt program that i can download to use an osd on vista

Thanks

What you are looking for is part of the advanced keyboard drivers. If the
keyboard manufacturer has nor updated the drivers for Vista I am afraid you
will no longer have that function. Check their web site.

I have the same problem. You need drivers specifically written for your
keyboard.

So, what's the big deal with hovering the mouse cursor over the sound icon
in the notification area if you want to see the volume number.
