Volume Control program is absent, checking the "Place volume icon in the
taskbar" produces the error message "Windows cannot display the volume
control on the taskbar because the Volume Control program has not been
installed. To install it, use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel."

I cannot find anything resembling "volume" anywhere in Add/Remove Programs
or Windows Components.

Sounds like your missing sndvol32.exe. By default, this file resides in your
C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Take a look at this Microsoft article for their advice on fixing this problem.

Message When You Try to Add It

If you don't have access to an XP installation disk, you can download a copy of
sndvol32.exe by clicking on this link.
