  • In Normal Mode Windows Vista will not respond to the system restore or the Add/Remove programs - without success
  • Chkdsk/r - unsuccessfully
  • sfc/scannow won't answer - no success
  • Msconfig.exe helped with a clean boot; However, this does not solve the problem...

  I tried to install firefox, then I change my web page. It reported a script error when loading. The program runs, but not right so I removed and tried again with the same result. It runs in the safe is no no not sure what it is.

  Now I can't run add it / remove programs in the Control Panel, it will be no fill. I can leave this mode and run what seems normal.

  Thanks John

  Hi Tubethumper,

  1. the Add/Remove Programs list is empty?

  2. you receive an error message when you access Add/Remove programs?

  3. do you still receive error loading Firefox?

  See the Microsoft article below and run them the fixit tool available, check if it works.

• "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.

• Updates, mainly updates, which are manually downloaded and installed see the square Windows XP - > Control Panel - > Add / Remove programs. ?

  Updates, mainly critical updates, which are downloaded and installed manually appear actually Windows XP-> Control Panel-> Add / Remove programs. I use NO automatic update of Windows. I run a batch file to install more than 20 + critical updates, but none of them are showing up for me in the list "Add / Remove Programs". Yes, I have the check box 'Show updates' checked.

  Yes. They should display Control Panel Add or remove.

• try to get "missing ___.msi" several times on different programs, when I browse to find and remove in Add/Remove Programs, it is not there.

  I have windows XP, .NET 4.0 (4.5)?, service packs1, 2, 3, 4.0 and 4.5. I have a HP Pavilion a620n. I do not know is that 4 or if I need and IE8. I tried to remove several programs in Add/Remove Programs, and it said an ending with .msi file that is "missing or moved" is necessary, even if it is for an Installer (?), no withdrawal. He arrived with more than one program as I said. When I search I can't find the requested file. If it is missing, how can I proceed? Please help if possible and thank you in advance for your time!  :)       Kinamaygray

  Hi Kinamaygray,

  .NET frameWork is an integral part of many windows-based applications and provides common functionality for these applications to run. I suggest you do not uninstall the .net FrameWork, it may cause some programs not do not work. For more information on the .net FrameWork, you can check the link.

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/zw4w595w.aspx

• I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

  I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

  My victory is xp professional ver 2002 service pack 3

  It's usually easy to fix, but if you removed all the dll and inf files, you can have a bunch of other problems that you have not yet discovered.

  If you mean when you try to use Add/Remove Windows components you see a message like this:

  Install was not able to load the master file.
  The application could not be initialized.

  This happens because this file is missing:

  c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf

  There is no copy backup of this file on your system and run the System File Checker will not replace the missing file (sorry, that Microsoft committed Support Engineer 'experts').

  You will need to get a real copy of your XP bootable installation CD or from a reliable source.

  There's a copy on my SkyDrive, you can download - here's how:

  I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  You can download it and when you do, put a copy of the file in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\Inf

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file named sysoc when the name of the file should really be called sysoc.inf (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

  You must then copy and paste the downloaded folder appropriate on your system.

  Alas...

  As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Click Start, run and enter the following command:

  regsvr32 appwiz.cpl

  Click OK and you should see a message like this:

  DllRegisterServer in successful appwiz.cpl

  Restart and see how things look now.
