Control Panel open folder, on the view tab Options, uncheck "Hide operating system files (recommended)" protected", click apply/OK. Now, go to Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and go to the C:\Windows\System32\dllcache folder and open it. Locate the sndvol32.exe file right click, choose copy. Then go to the C:\Windows\System32 folder, and then open it. In the right pane right click on a box empty and select Paste. Now you should have your back volume icon. If not go back to control panel > sounds > make sure that there is a check mark in the box to display the sound icon in the system tray.

    You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

    Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

    Since it is a forum of number, not many people here can see that you have a serial number.  Running older software on the latest machines is always questionable.  There are many applications, I sitting on discs (some 3.5 or 5 inch disks) in a box that won't do anymore of that for the rest of their lives.

    If the disk has a problem then you should try to download instead.

  • All the sounds that are specifically related to the Microsoft system works not-missing the system tray volume control and Accessories Entertainment empty folder.

    I have no volume control icon in the system tray and my Accessories Entertainment folder is empty.  I can play the sound through iTunes and VLC media player but is no longer the Player Windows Media can play CDs or mp3 files.  I have more Microsoft system sounds and the sounds of a large number of online streaming sites no longer play unless I can their route via iTunes or VLC media player.  Windows Media Player says missing codecs if I try to play mp3 files.  I have upgraded to Windows Media Player 11 to see if that would bring codecs, but without any result.

    My problems were not related to the missing CODECS.

    I knew the sound on my system was basically correct, given that I was able to listen to free VLC Player I downloaded to replace the Windows Media Player while he was not working.

    However, the solution to my problem of noise was really simple, but the answer was just very complicated track.

    I noticed that a lot of the chatter about similar problems on other forums was related to Adobe Flash Player.

    I had recently upgraded to the latest versions all Adobe products on my system.  I didn't make the connection that Adobe software could affect all the sounds of Microsoft.

    Finally, after doing a Google search on Adobe Flash Player issues, I found a partial solution:

    Here's an exact quote:

    Very well, the problem is really the wavemapper mapping in the registry of Windows such as reported by a member of the forum.

    All you have to do is to open the registry editor by going to start menu, run, type regedit, then Enter.
    After that, in Registry Editor, navigate yourself in the left pane until you reach

    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

    And then in the pane, right-click and click New, select string value, enter "wavemapper" (without the quotes, of course), ENTER, enter "msacm32.drv".
    Come in.

    Well, of course, it didn't work the first time. I received this message:

    the Registry Editor cannot rename the new value #1. The specified value name already exists. Type another name and try again

    I was puzzled for a while, until I saw someone in the forum with a similar problem mentioned that they had found a fix for this problem by granting permissions subkey. This led me to Google search for registry permissions.

    After that here, that's what I had to do, and although it seems that a lot of steps, it's really very simple:

    Once I had reached the drivers32 registry entry I pointed out the entry in the right pane. Mine said (default) REG_SZ (value not set). I then clicked on change on the Bar Menu and clicked on permissions on the menu drop down.

    This opens the permissions for Drivers32. I highlighted at the entrance of the Administration and click the Advanced button.

    This opens the "Advanced Drivers32 security settings. I made sure that I was under the permissions tab in this window. I noticed that the box called "inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here"was checked. Yet once, I did ensure that the entrance of the Administration has been highlighted and then I clicked on the button change.

    This opens the "permission for Drivers32 entry. I chose "this key and subkeys" apply to: falling to the bottom of this window. Then, I checked the full control checkbox. I clicked on OK.

    I clicked on apply advanced Drivers32 window security settings.

    I clicked on apply permissions for Drivers32 window.

    Once that I had done it all a lot more entries appeared in the right pane for Drivers32 including my wavemapper entry. This is where all along; Quite simply, there is not all the permissions to do anything, including being in the registry pane.

    I left the registry and now all my sounds are back and the volume icon is once again in my system tray. Who would have thought?

    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Open Document icon missing IN Reqs but work for POs

    Hi all
    If there is point of sale and PO requests that are waiting for your approval. You would typically go to the purchase of super user-> summary of Notification-> task list, choose po/poreqs-> click Open the document to view/make changes before approval.

    Open Document link is woking when you open POs but lack of PO Reqs. I went through many documents such as (Metalink doc 356969.1). But without success. I think it's some kind of program installation/configuration/profile that needs to be changed.

    My problem is to get the missing icon for Reqs OP too. Anyone has any info please help me. I don't know where to look. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you
    Kalyan.

    Hello

    The icon of the Document in the page Details of Notification Workflow is shown depending on whether the function of the form is assigned to the current user (selected responsibility). You can run $FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql to identify the specific function of the shape associated with the formula IN Req and see if your current context has access to this function of the form.

    In other words, you can check if you see the icon when you access the same notification of responsibility iProcurement.

    I hope this helps.

  • VM with Thin Provisioning, but increase not the size of the installation disc.

    I'm working on a test VM for Windows XP installation.  I've implemented initially for 8 GB and with a provisioning.  However, now I am more space because of all the updates and adverse Microsoft threw there.  I cleaned the drive as much as I can and am still really low on disk space.  New updates will not download or install.  I increased the size of the disk of 10 GB, but in Windows, it still shows 8 GB.  What gives?  What Miss me?

    When you have added on the hard drive, you have added the space at the end of the training. You need to resize the partition on this computer to use all the new space. There are many options to resize the partition. A program that I use which is great and can run from a live cd is called GParted- http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ . One thing that I found which help before using GParted is to run chkdsk and make sure that there are no errors before resizing the disc.

  • I need to reinstall Windows Vista home Premium, but I don't have it on the disc, I got a serial number.

    I've upgraded to windows 7, the upgrade requires a previous version of windows must be installed before it can be used.

    When I installed the upgrade first, it worked perfectly, unfortunately I do not have a set of recovery discs before upgradeing from Vista to 7 (stupid I know!).

    I bought the components to upgrade my PC and want to reinstall windows, but cannot without Windows Vista Home Premium disc, and I can't find anywhere to download them, or find someone willing to let me copy their discs (I only need a copy discs, I have my own serial number).

    True to form, I also forgot to make disks of backup to my laptop before it got a virus (edition windows Home premium), feeling very stupid.

    If anyone knows where I can get copies of these discs, it would releive a lot of stress.

    That you have a legable Vista product key, then use these installation files to make a .iso and then bootable DVD/USB as shown here:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/Microsoft-Windows-and-Microsoft-Office-downloads.aspx

    This will install Windows Vista with the activation of the phone. Note using your Windows 7 update product key directly with the good Windows 7 .iso file directly should work and you should not need to install Vista. You can, or perhaps not to activate by phone.
