On screen caps lock display?

In one of my pc's whenever i hit the cap or num locks keys it displays it doing so on my monitor.

Now normally i wouldn't care much for this but not all my keyboards for my computers have those green lights that light up when i enable the caps or num lock keys.

I am guessing its something that came installed with my computer when i bought it from newegg, any idea of a similar software that i can install in my other computers.

I like it displaying on my monitor when i turn on my caps or num locks keys

 

It would help folks here to know more about the computer in question. Brand and model if it is a commercial PC (Dell, HP, etc.) and operating system, or if a home built computer the motherboard make and model, and the operating system used.

If running Windows 7, type Keyboard into the Run box, and select Keyboard from the list that appears. See if there is a Key settings option. If so, select it, and find the Key Settings List. I can't recall where exactly, but somewhere in the list you will find "Display Caps Lock status on screen" . . . make sure it is unchecked. Not sure if this will fix your issue/s or not.

What kind of keyboard are you using? The display issue might be a function of your keyboard, and you might have to adjust the behavior in any software that came with it.

 

:-D Oops . . . I should have said "Make sure the 'Display Caps Lock status on screen' is checked OR unchecked, as you desire."

 

Tray icons that also give you a beep option

A beep tone to indicate change in caps lock and num lock can be enabled in Windows settings. I high pitch beep indicates lock key on; a low pitch beep, key is off. In Windows 7, the setting can be found in All Programs | Accessories | Ease of Access | Ease of Access Center Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center\Make the keyboard easier to use; in Windows 8.1, it's found in PC Settings | Ease of Access | Keyboard.

 

Correction in wording of sentence in previous post for Windows 7:
Windows 7, the setting can be found in All Programs | Accessories | Ease of Access | Ease of Access Center | Make the keyboard easier to use.

 

The thing is i am not having any issues. I think you misread becuase you state to uncheck '' display caps lock status on screen'' , when what i want is exactly to do that.

There doesn't seem to be an option by going to ''keyboard'' to turn on ''display caps lock status on screen'' though.

I want to do this on my other desktops, my acer aspire m3910 already had this feature and came already preinstalled with windows 7 from newegg.

I want to use this feature on my other desktops like having the caps lock display on screen whenever they are activated or deactivated.

It has nothing to do with my keyboard as i changed between 4 of them on the aspire m3910 so the feature must be software and nothing to do with keyboards.

I attached a picture to show what i want to see on screen, note i did read the other replies i am not interested in beeps as i only use sound half the time in a pc unless i will be watching something.

 

My other pcs' have windows 7 professional and vista business.

The keyboards i use for them are : Gateway KB-0532 ( ps/2 keyboard), logitech k120, logitech mk720, logitech mk520

I have no microsoft keyboard

I am quite sure the software is related to whatever acer had proloaded with windows 7 but i don't know what it is, as i can't find it in the control panel. I was hoping i could find a similar software like it that display an icon like i posted ( not exactly like it but something similar).

 

Like you, I'm certain this is a feature pre-loaded by the manufacturer. My Lenovo Edge has it when running the pre-installed Win 7 but not when I boot it into Win 8.1.

After a bit of googling I came across THIS. I've not tried it myself but you might want to. Best to take a system restore point first. Let us know how it goes.

 

Just tried Caps Lock in Win 7 Pro x64, and immediately uninstalled it. Didn't work at all for NumLock and and only puts a green tick or red cross in notification area for caps lock on or off. To catch your attention it does need to be on screen where you can't miss it. I didn't bother trying the beeps.

 

Anyone try my suggestion?

It doesn't have an icon but it does show
something onscreen as well as a tray icon so you can check after the words go away.
You can select the color surrounding the words.

 

Pearls before swine plodr But I think I like that so I'll leave it on the system for a week and see if I still like it. The OP should anyway.

 

I did and it's GREAT, thank you been looking for this for years

Thanks

I got an email update to this thread but i couldn't find the reply here or through a pm.

Maybe a site admin deleted it because he was trying to sell the app? says user was Brandon Garletts

 

Yes. His post was deleted. I sent him a message explaining why.

 

Guilty as charged. I was trying to sell my app. I got a very friendly message from Eldon instructing me to submit my app to the owners of the site. Thank you Eldon for not just blocking me for Spam and pointing me in the right direction instead. I hate Spam as much as the next guy and that was definitely not my intention. I appreciate the help.
