Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Volume Tick - Place
volume icon in the taskbar

Thanks, Vaidd, but I've tried this and gotten the error message
mentioned in my original post. The error message reads, "Windows
cannot display the volume control on the task bar because the
Volume Control has not been installed. To install it, use
Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel."

That begs the question. Have you tried that?

Yes, I tried this with several program CDs,

I have no idea why you would try several program CDs when you are
asked for the Windows XP CD.

You have misunderstood me. I have NOT been asked for any specific
CD. I was just guessing that maybe the error message was
referring to the XP CD.

The error message reads, "Windows cannot display the volume
control on the task bar because the Volume Control has not been
installed. To install it, use Add/Remove Programs in Control
Panel."

That's all, there is NO information as to where I can find the
necessary file or files that I need to install. I was just
guessing that maybe this was on the XP CD, but when I tried using
the XP CD I was warned not to do so because the files on the CD
were older than the files on my computer. Gordon

The volume control was installed and it was working properly
until about 3 days ago. I have no idea what uninstalled it, nor
what CD I need to put in the CD drive to re-install it.

Are you trying to say that a CD is required by Add/Remove
Programs?

That's the message I get when I click on the checkbox in Control
Panel - Sounds and Audio Devices - Volume tab.

Ack! That's not the message you get in Sounds and Audio Devices. The
instruction I referred to is in Add/Remove Programs. You did a big
leap there IMO.

Incidentally, I'm running Windows XP Pro

If the answer is yes, try the Windows XP CD.

Good luck.

Thanks, John, I tried, or started to try using the XP CD. I got a
warning message telling me that the XP files on the CD were older
than those on my computer's hard drive, due to on-line updates,
and the implication was that I should NOT try to re-install from
the CD.

Hopefully you're not talking about reinstalling Windows XP.

So, I need to know which little obscure file on this CD has the
sound Volume Control .dll or whatever, so I can tell my Add/Remove
Programs where to look for the file it needs.

In the prior paragraph, you say it found the files but they were
older. Now you are saying it needs a location/path.

I don't see it explicitly stated, but I guess you're suggesting that
Add/Remove Programs specifies the DLL file it's looking for. I'm not
sure, but you might have to manually search the cab files on the
Windows XP CD in order to get a proper path.

Good luck.
