So i was trying to make some room on y C drive and i guess i deleted some files that i shouldnt...To make a long story short now my volume control thingy that stays on my taskbar has dissapeared.When i go to the control panel and to sounds and audio devices and i get in there and there is an icon with the option to place volume icon on the taskbar but when i click on that i get 'windows cannot display the volume control on the task bar because the volume control program has not been installed...
Anybody have an idea how i can install that back????I tried using my windows cd but since i put service pack 2 on it it said that the version of windows i had on the cd was older than my current version...Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance |

Install Winamp instead. You don't need a volume control. I got 900W of power on this computer and I use the volume controls for the amps instead.

Download and install Service Pack 2 for XP. See if that will fix it.
Alternatively, go to Windows Update and install updates the site sees fit first.

Try Windows Update first. Should not ask for any serial numbers.

i do that all the time. go to google, type in the file you want, and chances are, the first couple of links will give it to you. |
