Yes this is an old computer but I need something that runs Win 7. Anyway I replaced the old HP keyboard with a new HP keyboard and then got a “Volume” popup that indicates that it is a volume control. I have provided a screen shot at: goo.gl/05QNcb so you can see what it looks like.
The volume control isn’t real as the curser moves behind it and when I went to make a print screen image of it, the image didn’t show it, just the desktop without the pop up. I reattached the old keyboard, but that didn't help. I have looked at config sound and there is no unusual option there. I have rebooted and hard rebooted to no avail.
I haven’t been able to find anything in search on the internet that is the same issue, so am hoping that someone here has had the same issue and can help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@Andy51, welcome to the forum.
You should go into the Device Manager / Keyboards /right click on your keyboard / select Update Driver Software / Search automatically for updated driver software. If there is an updated driver it will find it and install it.

I just had it happen again almost a year later, for no reason I can see. Anyway, if you have the same problem, be sure to uninstall the Acer monitor software then do a hard shutdown, then reinstall the software. Like me, you might have to do a refresh of the desktop to make that pesky volume control image disappear.
PS I did change out my old HP with win7 to a newer model also with win7, but that was quite a while ago, so am mystified why it happened again.
