• 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 and network of the missing icons in the taskbar

  Most of the time, not always, when I turn on my computer I have no network and volume icons in the taskbar.  When I right click on the taskbar and go to properties, then the notification area, sometimes I am able to click on them and then click 'apply', but other times they are grey. I never had this problem before, but I had to completely restore the computer recently.  My OS is Vista Home Premium. Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  Notification options are only available for Windows Vista and higher. The Control of the Volume icon may appear from the Control Panel.

  You said that the Spokesman of AOL could have removed the Control of Volume, please make sure that the following files exist on your system to see if the Setting of the Volume has been either deleted or not
  %SystemRoot%\system32\sndvol32.exe
  
  
  If you do not want to enable the display of the Control of the Volume icon, please try the following
  [1] method: Using the control panel to change the settings for sounds and Audio devices
  • On the start menu, select Control Panel.
  • Double-click sounds and Audio devices.
  • On the general tab, check Place volume icon in the taskbar
  • Click OK

  Thank you

• How to download the program Volume control for the taskbar

  Where can I get the installer of the volume control for my taskbar. I've triedControl Panel >sounds and Audio devices > check "Place Volume in the taskbar icon .

  When I check the box for "place volume icon in the taskbar" it gives me an error and 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.

  Where can I get the program from?

  You mention that your netbook is HP. Most of the HP products have a recovery partition. If this is the case:

  -Click Start-> Run

  -Type in cmd

  -Type in the following, substitute the C:\ and D:\ readers with your partition recovery and partition system respectively:

  Expand c:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ d:\windows\system32\dllcache\sndvol32.exe

  -Press enter, and then type:

  Expand c:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ d:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe

  -Type exit and press ENTER.

  Your Volume control should now be restored. You can check this by opening the sound and Audio Control Panel devices and by checking the box to the volume icon to Place in the taskbar.

  If your problem is not solved or there is no such thing as a recovery partition after the return

  Hope this helps
