JSI Tip 5245. When you try to add the Volume icon to the Windows XP notification area, you receive an error?

When you try to add the Volume icon, you receive:

Windows cannot display the volume control on the taskbar because the Volume Control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

If the Sndvol32.exe program is missing or damaged, your installation will exhibit this behavior.

To fix the problem:

1. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM, holding down the SHIFT key to prevent AutoPlay.

2. Open a CMD prompt and type:

Expand <CD-ROM_Drive>:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ %windir%\system32\dllcache\sndvol32.exe
Expand <CD-ROM_Drive>:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ %windir%\system32\sndvol32.exe

3. Add the Volume icon.
