Blue volume icon in the middle of the screen

There is a blue (light blue color) volume icon in the middle of the screen that won't go away and it pops up randomly.

It doesn't look like a Windows icon, any type of Media Player or anything else I can rocegnize - it pops up without me typing OR pushing buttons OR playing media files. It disappears randomly as well.
My cursor goes behind the bar and can't be closed.

I have Windows Vista. I've searched on forums, but I can find only about volume icons that are as a result of monitors (which is not the case here) and so on.

It used to pop-up every once in a while and disappear, but now it's been there non stop for a couple of months.

Advice anyone?

Can you post a screenshot of that volume icon?

To take a screenshot,

1- Hit the Printscreen key on your keyboard. This will copy your entire screen to the clipboard. Hitting ALT + Printscreen will only copy the active window.

2- Open Paint.

3- Select Edit.

4- Click on Paste.

5- Select File.

6- Click on Save As...

7- Save your screenshot as a JPEG file.

8- Attach the screenshot to your next post.

The log will be saved in Notepad. Copy and paste the log in your next post.

IMPORTANT: Do not fix anything

Hi Phantom,
Thanks for replying.
I don't if I'm doing something wrong but I can't copy it.
When I do a printscreen and want to crop the part I want to isolate, it shows as an empty (white) rectangle in the JPEG.
If I do Alt + Printscreen as you suggested, it copies the Windows start button.
If I just copy the whole desktop, the "volume" icon I want to show just doesn't appear in the image after I save it.
I'm a bit baffled!
