Somehow lost the Volume Control Program

How can I get it back
Click to expand...
More info?

Have you just lost the Icon or have you got no sound at all?

You can get the Icon back via the Control Panel > Sounds and Audio
Devices (its very obvious).

Or make sure you have not just hidden it >

Right Click Start Button > Properties > Task Bar Tab > Customise

Find the Volume Control in the list and set it to "Always Show"

If its something else post back with a lot more information and you
will get a better answer.

When I try to get the icon back it says it can't to it because the program
is not installed. I am trying to find out how to re-install the program. I
have sound, but the only way I can change the volume is thru sounds and
audio devices. I can not get the detailed Volume Control Program, somehow it
disappeared into cyberspace.

Problem solved!!, in case anyone else has it as follows:

Error

Windows cannot display the volume control on the taskbar because the Volume
Control program has not been installed.it, use

you need to copy the sndvol32.exe image from your commercial XP installation
media (not a vendor-supplied "recovery" CD-ROM) to the system32 folder by
performing the following steps:

Start a command session.

Navigate to the CD-ROM drive by typing

<cd drive>:

Navigate to the i386 folder by typing

cd i386

Expand the sndvol32.ex_ file by typing

expand -r sndvol32.ex_ %systemroot%\system32
