HI Ya!


Thank U so very much for all your help.


However, I have now solved the problem. It was to do with the brightness buttons, which I have never used.


I tapped the F1 and F2 buttons, and it disapeared.


Thank U once again.


It's great the U guys are willing to help idiots like me.


Cheers!

HI there


Thank you for trying to help me. You're going to think I'm really thick, but I can't seem to do a screen shot.


I pressed the command and the 3 button, plus what I believe is the shift key, Hat is the one on the left hand side, with an arrow on it, which you use for a capital letter yeah?

But nothing happens.

Also I can't see what you are reffering to when you say click onto the camera icon? I can't see any such icon.

Sorry to be so useless.


I have just noticed that it is obviously connected with the sound. It has a row of boxes undeneath the logo, and as you increase the volume, the boxes fill up from left to right, and the logo flutters at the same time.


have alogitec amplifier and speaker system connected to it, and have just noticed that the sun logo looks very similar to the Logitec symble/Logo.


Is that of any help please?
