Windows cannot display the volume control on the taskbar

The issue: http://picsorban.com/view.php?pic=wtaudioissuef.jpg

I have looked around in add/remove windows components to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

This has happened to one of my users before.

You need to expand the volume control application from the I386 directory of your windows CD into your system32 directory.

cd i386
expand -r sndvol32.ex_ c:\windows\system32

That should do it.

Thanx.

I am bit n00bish though apparently.

How do i do what you just explained?


I just tried putting
expand -r sndvol32.ex_ c:\windows\system32 into the run dialog, & it did something fast (in a cmd window), but it didn't fix the issue.

Insert winxp cd.
Go to run, type in cmd.
At command prompt, type: cd /d d:\i386 (d: = cdrom drive)
Type expand -r sndvol32.ex_ c:\windows\system32
