Hi, I used your link and tried the cmd on both my d and e drives. Both
times
it said "can't open input file: sndvol32.ex_"
Any other thoughts? Thanks so much!

Ramesh said:You need to have the source files in the disk. Otherwise the expand command
won't work.
In case of pre-loaded systems, see if you have an i386 folder in the
C:\Windows or C:\ folders. If it's missing, then I'm sorry to say that
expanding files is not possible selectively.

I tried your suggestion, and that did not work either. After looking again
at the first link you sent, I need to mention that I do not have the XP
disk.
It came pre-loaded on my computer. Is there another way to get back the
missing file?
Thanks again.

Ramesh said:If you have the i386 folder, then you can expand sndvol32.exe. The
compressed file will be named sndvol32.ex_.
Assuming that the i386 folder is located inside the Windows folder, use this
command:
expand C:\Windows\i386\sndvol32.ex_ -r c:\windows\system32
