When I select "place volume control icon on the taskbar"
option on my souncard, I get this message:
"Windows cannot display the volume control on the taskbar
because the Volume Control Apllication has not been
installed. To install it use the Add/Remove programs icon
in the control panel"
This just started happpening recently. It was there
before.
How do I re-install it?? There is no entry in the
Add/Remove programs or Windows component list to install
it.
I have a Creative Soundblaster card...

thanks
 
Hi Darrell,

To resolve this issue, extract a new copy of Sndvol32.exe from the Windows
XP CD to the system_root \System32 folder on your computer's hard disk. To
do this, follow these steps:

Start/Run/CMD. In the command prompt window type:

X: (where X is your CD Drive letter)
CD \I386

Then use the expand command:
expand -r sndvol32.ex_ c:\windows\system32

Note: This assumes XP is installed on C: and that its installed in the
Windows folder. If not, you'll need to adjust the command accordingly.
Additionally, this must be an installable version of XP, not a "recovery
CD".
