Then I wen through the steps to add them both back to my taskbar. Which were: click Start and then right click on the properties button, and then on the Notification area. Under system icons it won't let me check the volume and the power icon icon!

Hello Annette,.

From your description, I understand that you are unable to add the volume icon and the power icon to the taskbar.

Run the fixit suggested in the following link.

  • Try to add an application icon in the burrito

    OK, so im trying to add an icon in the burrito, and when I change the XML file to have

    Icon.PNG

    I get this error:

    The file with the Icon.png path may not be packaged, unless the descriptor field application.icon.image57x57 is the Icon.png Error value: validation of AIR omitted

    Don't know exactly how to set the icon of the application in the fllash burrito generator. Oh, and now I've changed the code back to until I edited it and I still have this error.

    Any help?

    Thank you!

    If you really know the error to go away, this thread would recommend rebuild your application. Not ideal, but if you're willing to spend per burrito you.

    Another tip is to try to name your icon blackberry-tablets - icon.png. I know that others have had success with call it something else, but mine works with this naming convention.

    You can always try packing through the command line?

    The problem of the printer turns out be a problem of cartridge after all. We took it to a repair shop. The person told us that this printer is particular about the cartridges. He plays well with non HP cartridges or refills. We had been filling at Costco with no problems for a while. Costco has verified the refill cartridge and it checked OK. Go figure. After trying a few new HP cartridges, we finally got one to work.

  • Cannot place the Volume icon in the taskbar

    My desktop (Windows XP Home Edition, SP3) PC has problems with sound:

    The "Sound and Audio Devices Properties" window has 2 options in the box "Device volume" (in the middle):

    (1) 'Mute'.

    It works OK - I can check this option and sound is cut off, as required.

    (2) "volume icon to Place in the taskbar"

    I can't check this option to access the 'Advanced Options' button (bottom-right) and set other options of volume for 2 rear speakers (only 2 front speakers are currently operating).

    If I check this option, it fails with this MESSAGE of ERROR:

    "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 NOT removed / deleted / Uninstall audio files, programs, etc., so I don't know how sound problems have been affected on my PC.

    Of course, I can't start the Volume control program, and I can't adjust any volume and sound on my PC settings. The volume icon is not displayed in the tray (taskbar, far right). Try to add the icon for the volume control for this notification area will fail with the above ERROR MESSAGE.

    I do not have the installation diskettes, so it is possible to download all the relevant sound files / applications directly and solve this problem (missing volume control program)? All the problems of sound worked beautifully until this volume control program "disappeared."

    Moreover, are these stored audio files as backups somewhere on my PC (for example some partition memory?), so I can put it directly in the Windows/Program files?

    Troubleshooting guides suggest lack file the SNDVOL32. EXE, but c:\windows\system32\dllcache fact containing SNDVOL32. EXE - of course, this file is not missing, but may be damaged / corrupted, so unusable and inaccessible, as if not found (MESSAGE of ERROR above).

    Please notify. Thank you kindly.

    The dllcache folder is where XP guard backup copies of important files and does not come into the game normally and XP will be running fine without this folder (but you don't want to delete it).

    If one 3498 files that Windows file protection is missing, PAM retrieves the backup copy in the dllcache folder quickly and silently, replace the missing file.

    When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices if 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.

    Or this:

    Windows cannot execute SndVol32.exe, use Add/Remove Programs Control Panel to install.

    Looks like thesystem32\sndvol32.exe file c:\windows\ is missing.

    As the sndvol32.exe is one of 3498 Windows File Protection files handles, should never be missing.  To be absent would require an extra effort.  If it happens never missing in the system32 folder, WFP will be want to quickly and quietly replace it if he can.

    This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application unspecified 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 (if you can find one.)  Sometimes even the backup copy is quarantined (effectively removed)

    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 retains backups 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 or press Ctrl-C (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

    If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you can only see a file named "sndvol32" which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need) or adjust the settings of the browser under Tools, Folder Options, view and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" you can see the file extensions.  You can check that box again when you are finished, if that is your desire.

    If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder (you maybe not this file):

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    After copying the file, navigate to the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32

    Right-click on an empty area in the c:\windows\system32 folder display window and select Paste (Ctrl + V) to paste into the missing file where it belongs.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

    Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

    If you can't find the file on your system, there is one on my SkyDrive and you can download it.

  • Volume icon appears at random then spend or receive the phone call

    Hello

    Without doubt, I went through all the threads it are on the theme of the volume icon, but have not found anything that fits my 'problem '. I have an iPhone SE and sometimes when I make or receive a phone call the grey volume icon appears on the screen. I attributed it to the apps from third-party such as IMDB or Facebook but tried various scenarios and honestly can't pin it down to a specific. Someone at - it a similar problem? To be honest, it's quite annoying to see the gray icon volume pop up like this out of nowhere. I should add that all is well in terms of volume and the volume keys. No clue as to what causes this problem?

    Peace,

    Wojtek

    How do you know that all is well with the volume keys? They can work properly (increase or decrease in volume when you press on), but there might be a problem with the hardware with them or the mute button.

    Make an appointment on the Apple store and bring the phone to be checked.

    For some reason the last 2 days, my volume icon has a red x on it and says "no audio output device is available".

    The sound works for error messages, but nothing like itunes or youtube does not work

    And no it's not on mute, its got an error-type-cross, not the diagonol red line

    What should I do? I do not use speakers or headphones, it's literally just the speakers on my laptop that I use

    The sound card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager?
    This sounds to me like an audio driver problem.

    Try to remove the sound card in Device Manager and reboot the device.
    Wait for the windows operating system has recognized the sound card again and try again.
