Modifier keys appearing on screen in Vista.

Alright, this has been driving me nuts for awhile. For some reason, Vista will show what modifier keys I have pressed some of the time. Here is one example:

When I restart Vista, it's gone. I dont know what triggers it. I cant move it or hide it when it appears. I cant control where it appears either. This time, it's at the top of the screen. At other times, it might be in the lower right, or right in the middle. What the hell is causing it and how can I get rid of it short of rebooting each time it happens?

    I don't know the answer for sure, and this thread is the first thing that shows up when I Google, but here are places I'd look first:

    Control panel > keyboard settings
    Control panel > accessibility options

    or whatever analogues there are for said in Vista.

    Do you use a graphics tablet? I think that's when they started showing up for me.

    I use a tablet, but no options in there or the ones suggested before have any options.

    Yeah, I haven't been able to figure it out either. I've looked all over.
