Caps Lock

[Guest Barry Karas]

22/Feb/2008

 

Suddenly, my computer (running Windows XP with SP 2) doesn't make a small

noise - like ringing a bell, softly - when the Caps Lock key is pressed.

 

Although I use a text editing program that allows me to convert from upper

to lower case (and vice versa), it is bothersome to do so, especially since

I did not have to convert before now.

 

How would make my computer make a small noise when the Caps Lock key is

pressed?

 

Thank you,

Possibly turned on under XP's Accessibility Options. IIRC, there is an

option in there for an audio alert when Cap Locks is engaged.

 

Or it is an option in the software for the keyboard. Software for a

keyboard will have its own interface (program window) *or* it will

integrate additional options into XP's Control Panel> Keyboard.

In the Control Panel, Accessibilty Options, Accessibility Options (again),

on the Keyboard Tab check the ToggleKeys box. (caps lock, num lock, and

scroll lock)
