How do I get rid of the volume pop up in the middle of my screen. It mysteriously started appearing 3 months ago intermittently, and now is permanently on my screen. Tried booting in safe mode, but still pops up. Help!
 
What does it say? Does it say Vista? Creative?

Do you have a sound card installed? If not what is your sound chip on your mobo?

Sounds like a 3rd party software app for a sound card or something, you can simply go into the software and turn off the "open at startup" or whatever.

I've been running Vista for about 5yrs now and never had a volume popup on my screen, ever.
