That's all, there is NO information as to where I can find the

So you don't know what Control Panel is.
Yes, I misunderstood.

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.
