So I was playing Red Faction: Guerrilla, from that awesome Steam THQ pack, and I can't stop hitting the damn Caps Lock key on accident. When I hit it, the game goes into windowed mode, then runs pretty choppy until I get it back to full screen. The problem with RF: Guerrilla though, is that you can't put the game into fullscreen until you exit out to the main menu. This is a pain in the ass, because the game saves at your safehouse, rather than just wherever you want. Usually I have to play a whole mission with a bad framerate until I can save and exit to the main menu. I also have a pretty small keyboard, making this happen quite a bit.
 
So my question: Can someone tell me how to disable this little notice without just referring me to some online article? I have NO idea what all that computer jargon means. I have little-to-no computer smarts, so if someone could give me some help in baby talk, I would be very appreciative.

Can't you just map the "Windows mode" button to something else in the options? I only have RF:G on PS3 but it seems like you should be able to set it to something out of the way like Page Up or something...

FYI, this forum is for website related bugs. This question should be in the PC forum.

" @Forcen: Good Point. Well hey, modders, if you see this, can you move it please?
@Adamantium: It's not the "Windows" button, though. It's the caps lock button. Right between Tab, A,  and Shift, which are very common buttons in that game. "

There is likely a registry setting you can use to disable it. I'd recommend googling it.
 
Alternatively, get a knife and pop the key out of your keyboard. Problem solved :)

" @Adamantium: Hmm. I have no idea where that would be. Is that something that would pop up in Task Manager? Again, I have no computer knowledge outside of button clicking, mod installing, and game playing. "

" @Adamantium: Hah. I was actually considering that. But it's on my laptop, so I wouldn't wanna risk it. And sadly, it's not a game-specific problem, because the notification is a little gray box that appears outside the game window that says "CAPS LOCK: ON/OFF." So it's the equivalent of pressing Alt+Tab. "

" @SuperfluousMoniker:@Adamantium: Well, it's an Alienware Area-51 M9750, but I guess I should just give 'em a call. Wouldn't want to have to reformat... again. Thanks for the help, though. "

This must be a HP problem as I also have a HP laptop and encounter the same problem when playing Assassins Creed. I then must quit all the way to the the desktop to restore the full screen mode.
