    This is a problem I have as well, it's absolutely ridicules. Sometimes it'll even go away after a few moments, only to come back the moment I move my mouse or the laptop itself.

    THIS WORKS!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Copy and paste but don't put the periods after exe, which I did at first. This is from Hewlett Packard, so it is safe.

I have the same problem and did a little looking around. I found a way to avoid the problem not to fix it. I have a dv9933cl with Vista (64bit). Go the the search bar under the menu and search 'msconfig'. Under one of the tabs on the screen that appears after clicking 'Open msconfig' there will be a list of checked items. One of the items is named 'Quick Touch On Screen Display' deselect this item. Click 'Ok'. It should then prompt you to restart your computer. Do so. Your volume Touch Sensitive keys should now work properly with any application open but you will not get a display to show you the current volume level. If anyone finds futher infor please let me know. Hope this helps.

Phillips 170B volume adjustment bar automatically pops up
Usually for the volume bar to just pop up something would have pressed the volume button. It is possible that the volume button has gotten a malfuntion on it and this makes it to pop-up all the time. Try getting underneath the volume button cleaned. But preferably this should be done by an expert.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

How do you turn up the volume on the Tom Tom. Sometimes when I run my finger across the bottom it shows the volume but now I can't get it to show up.
Generally it should be on the bottom left hand corner. It you touch the area where "no route planned " is shown, the volume bar pops out. If this is not happening, follow this procedure. Tap on : the main screen. Tap on : Change preferences. If the sound is turned off, you will see a green button that says turn on sound. Tap on it. Else Tap on : Arrow. Tap on : Volume preferences. It shows an info screen. Jjust tap on it. On the next page that opens, increase the volume. Also select link volume to car speed as it is a good option. Tap on : test Tap on : Done.

Light-up volume bars on the hp pc notebook dv7 1132nr
Hi Folks....
If you are talking about the Quick Launch buttons of the Notebooks from where we usually increase, decrease or mute the Volume, the lights will be still and will not increase or decrease with the increase or decrease in Volume.
However, you do have a utility which should be preinstalled in Notebooks called HP Quick Touch which shows the bars on the Display when the volume is Increased or Decreased  using the Quick Launch buttons. This application is not compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit edition.
The HP Quick Touch application is available for download from the link below :
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38001-38500/sp38358.exe

Save the file in the Notebook and double click it once the download is completed to install the application.
Hope this helps....
