Post up the video or a snapshot of what you have and we'll have a look, it's difficult to work out exactly what you mean

He said his PC and not his laptop, there could be a stuck key......

any advice guys is appreciated thank you..

I would say that is a stuck button. Get a sharp knife and just prise the menu button out every so slightly.

Ahh, now i understand, but if it's his PC it won't be a key (when you asked to remove the keyboard), it's more likely to be a button on the monitor as that's the display menu.

EDIT: Definitely not a virus btw.

thanks guys will dismantle the monitor and give the buttons a clean or maybe try a different monitor see if it still happening !!! cheers glad its not a virus!!

When my laptop is in its docking station, the Dell Control Point manager will allow me to adjust the brightness and contrast by using keyboard hotkeys, to which I get a popup on the screen.

That looks like an OSD (on screen display) for a monitor. Check none of those are stuck.
