  Thank you.

  Hi Renee-me,

  I recommend that you do not uninstall the updates that are installed on your computer.

  Windows Update makes the secure PC and helps run smoothly.

  For more information, refer to this link: Windows Update

  We suggest to delete the Windows updates only in troubleshooting an issue that may have been caused by an update. Refer to KB 310312 for more information on how to use the disk cleanup to free up space on the hard disk.

  Hope the helps of information.

• "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  missing volume control

  volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

  "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

  When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

  Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

  It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

  This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

  We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

  If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

  If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

  c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

  Browsing from a level in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32

  Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

  Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

  Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

• Can I remove updates safely from the last 3 years for Microsoft and windows? From Add/Remove programs

  I was in my Add/Remove programs and I see updates 3 years back for windows and microsoft and they take place, so I would like to know if it is safe to delete all of these updates from my computer.

  Once I Upgrade CS5 to CS6 can I remove CS5 using Add Remove programs in Windows, or just delete them?

  never remove any program installed on a windows operating system, always uninstall.

  You can uninstall cs5 before or after the installation of the cs6. or, you do not need to uninstall, at all.

  If you uninstall before installing the cs6, you will be asked your serial number cs5 (in addition to your cs6 series.  If you leave cs5 installed, you won't need the cs5 serial number to install your cs6 upgrade.

• Successful marked KB2419632 update but do not show in Add/Remove programs

  Hi all

  I have Windows XP, SP3.

  This update (KB2419632) that successful shows in the history of Windows Update for January 13, 2011.

  However, he was not in the list of updates in Add or remove programs.

  I noticed only 2 weeks later (January 2011-27).

  I downloaded the update and he ran for office. It installed and is now listed in Add/Remove programs.

  I know I should ask questions first, but I found this forum later.

  It was the right thing to do? Should I keep or uninstall?

  I would do anything to this topic or next month updates will install as they always have?

  Never had any problems with the updates before.

  I also noticed the error Event ID 8 event with source crypt32 sometimes Viewer on 16 January and 27 January.

  Not sure if this is related to the issue of the update.

  Any help, tips are appreciated.

  Albenbell

  P.S. I have Norton Internet Security 2011 that I have updated since the 2010 version, about 3 weeks (8 January - 2011).

  Hi Albenbell,

  1. When did you start to question?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  3. do you have an antivirus/antispyware/security or other programs that are set to block it?

  Usually this will happen not unless if you make system changes that can remove the updates. However since you installed it again you can let him be here and no need to remove it. This problem won't happen with future updates and you can go ahead and install them.

  About event ID 8, you can consult the following KB articles and check.

  Crypt32 8 events reported continuously on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, or Windows XP

But after the restart, the updates below do not appear in the Add/Remove Programs folder.

Need to trash and cleaning of the space. Your help is more appeiciated. Thank you very much.
