Loads of other games are the similar.<BR /><BR />Here's the solution I found, just incase anyone else needs it int he future.<BR /><BR />The pop up is caused by a process called bttray.exe. (It's part of the Bluetooth support)<BR /><BR /><STRONG>The solution is to edit this value in the registry:<BR />(type regedit in your search window in vista - double click program - warning you can really mess up your system by playing around with REGEDIT)<BR />click these fields<BR /><BR />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE<BR />SOFTWARE<BR />Widcomm<BR />BTConfig<BR />General<BR />KeyIndication<BR /><BR />(right click on KeyIndication and Change it from 1 to 0.<BR /><BR />Reboot</STRONG><BR /><BR />Tada... Problem solved, no more popups! <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.it/html/@9CAC7F4BDC92F34A189F361DB4AE39C8/images/smilies/001.png" alt=":grin:" title=":grin:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:43:46 GMT https://community.sony.it/t5/pcs-accessories/annoying-numlock-capslock-behavior/m-p/46688#M58199 dokmh 2008-09-24T00:43:46Z
