I can adjust is no longer control volume via the speaker icon in the notification bar.

I found issues of users on this forum where the "speaker" icon has disappeared.  My problem is slightly different.  The "speaker" icon is always visible, but when I click it, I no longer get the vertical bar that allows me to adjust the volume.  I have made no recent changes to my computer and does not understand why it happened all of a sudden.  I have spent at the taskbar properties and tried to turn the volume icon but this has not cured the problem.  Can anyone help?

It is not a 'solution' in its true meaning.

The corrupted account use more. You will need to remove it. BUT, before you do, and if you want to save what are in this account, you will need to use this tutorial:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

Note: after you create the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account you just created.

Of course, if there is nothing to save the corrupted account, then just delete.

If this account is an administrator account, make sure you first create a new admin account AND make sure that the new administration is working FIRST before deleting the old one. *******

PS It is not advisable to activate the guest account. Disable it.

Create a standard user account for all guests who may need to use your computer.

  • "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.
