Volume control icon is missing. I do not think a windows update was recently
added so I do not know what caused the icons disappearance. Any help would be
appreciated. SR
 
Thanks for the suggestion but I did as you suggested and a window pops up
saying that the program has not been loaded!?
 
Yes, still produces sounds . Yes, I can still play audio files and only the
icon is missing but of course the ability to control the volume is not
existent. I went the article that you suggested and followed the instructions
but when entering the line " cd i386 " it would not accept it!? Any ideas
again appreciated. (Bloody computers!)

Click to expand...

Try this line:

CD C:\Windows\i386

You would have to be specifically in the Windows folder for your command
to work.
 
I think you didn't follow the instructions given in the article properly.
Anyway,

1. First insert Windows XP CD into your CDROM drive.
2. If it AutoRuns and Welcomes you with installation Windows then close it.
3. Open My Computer and note down the Drive Letter of your CD Drive.
4. Suppose your CD drive has letter E is assigned then how you will execute
the further commands:

5. Click Start, and then click Run.
6. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
7. Type the following lines at the command prompt, pressing ENTER after each
line, where CD-ROM drive is the drive letter of the computer's CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive that contains the Windows XP CD-ROM, and system_root is the
path and folder name where the Windows system files are located (generally
C:\Windows):
CD-ROM drive:
cd i386
expand sndvol32.ex_ system_root\system32\sndvol32.exe


Note that there is a space between "ex_" and "system_root" in this command.

For example, if your computer's CD-ROM drive is drive E, and the folder that
contains the Windows system files is C:\Windows, type the following lines at
the command prompt (pressing ENTER after each line):
e:
cd i386
expand sndvol32.ex_ c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe
5. Type exit to quit the command prompt.
6. Verify that you can start Volume Control and that the Volume icon is
displayed in the notification area (if you selected this option).


Hope this help, let us know!
