My volume icon and control is missing
My volume icon and control is missing and I also think that the program is now defunct. A spokesman for AOL of sees has accessed our computer to 'clean up' to make it work better and I think that he has removed my volume and its program. When I tried to add the volume on my computer icon, he told me I do not have the program and install it. When I went to add the program by following the instructions, it took me to Microsoft, but there is no program called "volume and noise." In reading other posts, that it is said to right click on Start/Properties/Notification...but, I don't have the option "notification" under properties. What should I do?

Flashing intermittent volume icon and the erratic mouse pointer.
I have a problem with intermittent flashing volume icon, when this happens, the volume icon is maximized and apears on the screen at the same time it is found in the taskbar. The volume icon will then quickly flash and cycle between silent and this causes the volume to sizzle even if no audio signal is coming through the speakers. At the same time as this, I often get a pointing device erratic which cannot be controlled and moves all around the screen if I try to move it.
Now for the strange bit. The volume control buttons do not allow the volume to be cut or modified when all this is happening, however if I hold my finger on the volume upwards or downwards, or the mute button this totall recuse the erratic pointer that I can then use again.
This problem is intermittent and random. I did a complete system restore and it still occurs. I noticed one thing, it is that keys icon flashing if sytem is working hard. Howvere, sometimes it happens at all.
I did sacans full of viruses and malware, but as I said it is still present after a full restore of the system. Im guessing it may be a hardware failure or a short circuit so probarbly will bring to a grumpy, but it would be good to have an idea of what it might be before hand so I do not be fooled.

Hi Interzona,
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2 when was the last time it was working fine?
3. do you have security software installed on the computer?
It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

When trying to uninstall a program, I uninstalled inadvertently something else. Apparently has something to do with the sound icon. According to the constructor for the audio endpoint Microsoft.either audio, Windows or Windows does not work.
I can help you to restore the Volume icon in the system tray (some call it the taskbar, some call it the notification area). But no guarantee that the icon will only work if you had uninstalled something you're not supposed to.
Here is the tutorial.

Scroll down to three method #2. For the Volume icon and follow the instructions of step #5 to #9.
