Pop Up Camper

I have an HP Pavilion dv6000, and whenever I change the volume using the touch controls, a box comes up that says "volume" and the volume level. This is annoying because it is rather large and pops up in the middle of the screen, and stays there for about 5 seconds. My dad has the same computer (only 17' and a slightly different model, but still a dv6000) and this box doesn't appear on his. If anyone could tell me how to get rid of this box it would be appreaciated.

I have as well a HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook (high five!) and I know how buggy it can be for the volume thing to pop up (especially during fullscreen movies, powerpoints, and it's even worse on games). But no worries, I got your back: I as well want to disable this.

Since I do not know how to precisely, I've contacted HP's online chat with a representative. Here's what they said:

"1. Click Start, All Programs (or Programs), Hewlett-Packard, Notebook, HP One-Touch, then HP One-Touch Configuration.
2. On the One-Touch tab, click the button to reprogram.
3. Type a label for the button, and then select the Application, Document, Folder, or Web site for the button to open.
4. When you donot want a label to appear onscreen when pressing a One-Touch button, Un check that option on the Onscreen Display tab."

Hope that helps. For more information, please go to Hp.com/support

-EDIT-

The process on my system is a little bit diferent. If you are unable to follow the previous steps, please do this:

1. Click Start and Run.
2. Type MSCONFIG and press Enter.
3. Click the Startup tab.
4. Clear the checkbox related to onscreen display for volume
5. Click OK.
6. Restart the system.

This are also instructions steps given to me by an HP representative. Feel free to contact them anytime on hp.com/support.
