Have the above Laptop, unfortunately it does not
have a Caps light.

Can anyone suggest software that will give me an "On screen diisplay"
OSD, or maybe use the existing HDD light.

Thanks ...Rob

What about notification area a.k.a. systray, like in Systray Indicator or
RBTray?

All I can recommend is First Cap

http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/FirstCap.shtml

"FirstCap is a small, free and very handy program which reliably warns
keyboard users if they accidentally activate the Caps Lock or Num Lock
key. In such a case, the user is alerted by a sound signal."

perhaps:

Program: KeyState
Author: Vyacheslav Dulnev
Windows 2000; XP
Ware: (Freeware) (open source: )
http://sourceforge.net/projects/keystate/
v 1.0.0 (2005-12-21)
"Program shows state of the Caps lock, Num lock, Scroll lock keys in the
tray and/or in small panel."

I tried KeyState_1.0.0.zip (after unzipping, natch) and received an error
message. Messed around on the site and found KeyState_1.0.0_static.zip,
uzipped it, and it works. Running XP SP3. Only complaint is that the
systray icons are a tad large. Thanks for the suggestion.
