Hi, apologies as this is my first post so please be gentle with me and word of caution, I am a novice when it comes to the technical bits!!! I have searched your boards and come up with the same solution to my problem each time, however, this appears to only apply if you have the master disks? I cannot get my volume icon to appear in the taskbar as when I try placing it I get the error message 'windows cannot display the volume control on the taskbar because the volume control program has not been installed. to install it use add/remove programs in control panel' Well it aint in there and the solutions to doing the old sndvol.exe bit dont work as I bought my pc with all already loaded on it. when i go into run cmd it automatically comes up c: and then something about my name and doucments ??? How do I get my sound volume prog back? Its only me being lazy save me going in and resetting sound all the time! Have I lost this programme for good??  Sorry its so long winded!

It is awkward to repair Windows files without the CD but try this as a first step :-
Start > Run, type “sfc /scannow” (not the quotes but the space) and press Enter. It will take some time and may ask for the XP CD.
SFC will exit with no closing dialogue. To see which files, if any, were replaced look in Event Viewer, hopefully sndvol.exe will be there. If SFC doesn’t start, the RPC locator service needs to be started in Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools, Services.
