    The volume icon in the lower right corner taskbar is gone, when i "try" to recheck the show volume icon in the sound properties, it says it cannot because the volume icon is not installed. This happend after I installed the IIS program from the windows cd, i guess it uninstalled all unchecked programs in the add programs menu.

    I cannot find anything about sound in the windows cd, or I am not looking correctly, i'm using winxp pro. Reinstalling my sound card (sb audigy 1) did nothing. Reinstalling IE did nothing, is there another solution besides reformatting/ reinstalling windows. I don't want to waste the time formatting my 80 gig hd.

    thanks for anyone who replies.

    The icon is contained in the file "shell32.dll" (or it should be).

    thanks for your help guys but I cant figure it out, i think im missing the file the volume program uses. Like when you double click the volume icon it has all the volume bars, yah i dont even have the files for that.
