Solve : Need to get rid of a panel?

Answer»

I am running Windows VISTA on an E Machine.  When I connect to power  a panel pops up that has 5 language on it.  If I click on any language it disappears.  If I leave the panel alone it will be at the bottom right corner of my monitor.  If I click on it then the "display settings" panel comes up.  When I delete the panel it never shows up again, even if I shut down and start up again.  If I power up , like in the morning, it goes through the whole process again.  This is no big deal but I would like to get rid of it.  E Machines tried to help me but no joy.  I asked Microsoft but they will not help those who bought a computer that all ready had Windows installed.  Can anybody give me any suggestions.  Thanks   BobCan you post a screenshot?Thanks for your answer.  I am new to computers.  I don't know how to post a screen shot.  If you will tell me I will try to follow directions.  I am good at that, I have been married for 58 years...    Ha Ha   Bob Quote

I followed your directions and after several tries I got an image.  I got a screen shot of my full screen.  At the time the panel that I am trying to get rid of was on the screen.  HOWEVER,  the panel did not appear on the print.  Why I don't know, it was there when I made the shot.  It is still there but it did not show in the print.  Any ideas?  Thanks  BobI'm not sure what you're doing wrong....

I downloaded HijackThis and ran it.  The results mean nothing to me.  I don't know how to post it to this post.  This has gotten out of hand and too much of your time.  I can get rid of the panel by pressing a button on the side of my screen.  It is no big deal, I was wanting to get rid of it because I don't need it.  Thanks for your effort and time.  Bob Open HJT....

I hope this is what you WANT to see.I can't see anything relevant to your issue....Broni

Let us just drop this topic.  As time goes by things may resolve its self.  It is not a life or death issue.  I do thank you for your time.  You have taught me a couple of things that I did not know how to do.  I'm sure I will have more problems.  Thanks   Bob    No problem
