Hi

What happens if you type

sndvol32

from Start>Run? Does the 'Play Control' screen appear?

Hi

Try copy/pasting that file from the windows\system32\dllcache folder to the
windows\system32 folder

Hi

You should have a windows\system32\dllcache folder. Can't you find that
folder in Windows Explorer?

You can download a copy of the file here and put it in
C:\Windows\Syster32 directory. Its only 135Kb

Shouldn't that be the windows\system32 folder?

Hi! You were helping me alot this morning and wanted to say thank you. Had to
leave for work (an unfortunate neccessaty) Do not know if your on now but I
just got home and am going to try your suggestions. thanx again

hey! if today is the first day of the rest of your life does that mean I get
to start all over again tomorrow??

Hi

I've just thought - the dllcache folder is 'hidden'. So you need to open
Windows Explorer and go to Tools>Folder Options>View and check 'Show hidden
files and folders'.

when I got home I finally found it. so through a sort of convoluted way I
have access to the volume control panel. Would like to get the speaker icon
back in my system tray as I have certain plug-ins where I need to shut down
the system volume before opening. Any suggestions?? Again a big hand shake &
thanks

Hi

Try - Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices - enable 'Place volume icon in
the taskbar'.
