Wierd icons/windows alternately pop up on the middle/right of my monitor screen
Monitor has large (over one in. square) icons pop up on screen, then disappear, then come back - one shows a padlock closed, the other a padlock in the open position. Two other windows also pop up. They show what look like controls for for the monitor - one for horizontal and vertical, the other a menu. These two windows are larger rectangles than the icons. Worse, when I move the cursor over them, the cursor actually goes behind them, so I can't even click on them to get rid of them. This started about two months ago, I had this computer completely overhauled over a year ago. Please someone - HELP!!!Thank You, Kierie1 person needs an answerI do too

Look for buttons on the monitor itself that open menus and let you configure the monitor. One of those buttons might be stuck.Boulder Computer MavenMicrosoft Most Valuable Professional

If there's a button that does this when you want it to, check that it's not stuck. Next time it happens, turn just the monitor off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. Does that fix it? If so, see what goes on that causes it to return.SC Tom

Impossible to determine what causes the problem. It is popping up frequently, whether I turn off the monitor, or manipulate the menu switch several times. the screens that show are the OSD one with white backround, then the menu or menu item such as brightness....cannot remove any screen and the frequency of the pop-up is getting worse and more frequent.
