Computer help: my volume utility is broken?

[Deimos]

The little volume thing doesnt show up in the taskbar anymore. when i went to audio devices on the control panel it says this:

Windows cannot execut SndVol32.exe, use add/remove programs control panel to install

what what what?

i swear i didnt delete or move anything.. i swear! anyone know whats going on? something is missing right? something that shouldnt be missing?

i can still hear stuff its just i cant change the volume.

help please, cheers.

Woah, really? You can still hear stuff?

Do you have a volume adjuster on your keyboard?

Thats odd!

Upon googling:

Sounds like there's a m/b program to drive the sound. Try
removing/reinstalling the soundcard drivers under windows safe mode. She
needs to delete the sound device from the system -> hardware and reload the
drivers from the m/b CD. Also make sure her speakers are on and the sound
is not muted.


I dunno though, just trying to be helpful. I'd use that as a last resort.
