At one point i accidentaly deleted the volume control program. Then when i
loaded an update for winodows media player it seems to have set the master mute
to mute, but i cant change this since i have no volume program. Then when i go
to add remove programs and under the microsoft programs and the volume control
is no where to be found. I dont want to have to completelu reinstal windows how
can i fix this problem.
