Hi, is there anyway to set Vista so that when I click my "up and down" keys
to adjust sound level that I can acutally see some kind of bar graph on
screen before I get my ears blown off again? Windows XP had a graph that you
can set to appear on screen so that if you hit the up or down arrow you could
see a visual. Does Vista have such a setting?
thanks, Catt
 
Thanks John, so if I have an Acer Laptop you suggest that I go to Acer and
get drivers for the audio as an update???

Catt,

Win+X
This will bring up the "Windows Mobility Center" where you can easily adjust the speaker volume and much more.

Win is the "Windows" key. On most keyboards, you find the Win key to the left of the left ALT key. The WIN key has a "waving Windows flag" on it.

Thanks for taking the time, very helpful.

Can't remember what it's called with Acer. Launchpad or something - I have
an Acer laptop, but I must admit, I didn't bother to install that again?
But, yes, one of the downloads on the Acer site will hopefully replace what
you are used to.

Thanks

Thanks to Snooks and Mr. Ferguson,
but what about an icon that I can have on desktop or in taskbar that I can
access quickly without having to open a screen and type sndvol? Isn't there a
shortcut for all this?
