Using Volume Keys on Keyboard Minimzes Full Screen Video

I have a DM4 notebook, as well as a 480t desktop, both running Windows 7 (64 bit).  I have the same problem with both.

 

Whenever I use they volume keys on the keyboard to adjust the volume, any video that I have in full screen mode automatically closes out full screen to show the volume graphic.  This is not specific to any type of video, application, or website.  It seems to be present across the entire system.

 

Thank you in advance for any guidance, and please let me know if any additional info is needed.

Hi,

Uninstall MediaSmart SmartMenu from your system or uncheck it from startup list as showed below:

 

  • Click Start .
  • In the Search field, type: msconfig and when the option appears in the menu, press Enter .
  • In the System Configuration window, click the Startup tab.
  • Find it on the list and uncheck it.
  • Click OK.

 

This steps will switch off on-screen visuals.

If you want to have this kind of future then you may use other software which is 3VRX here (ver 2.5 for 32/64 bit Win7).

 

Note:

Here is YouTube video which shows what can be done with this software.

Thank you.  When I removed the program, I was actually still able to control the volume, I just didn't have the graphic pop up any longer.

 

Great Solution!
