Visual volume indicator

[Cuddly Duddly]

Having just "upgraded" my machine to W XP Professional from W XP Home, the
green visual incremental volume indicator and mute notice has disappeared.
This is a very useful item and I would like it back. Can anyone kindly
suggest how I can do it? Thank you.

That's a function of the keyboard driver. Look for one that is XP Pro
compatible on the keyboard manufacturer's or computer OEM's web site.
