Oops. The command that I posted was incorrect, I forgot I386. Sorry.

Try this command, but change the X: to your drive letter.

expand X:\I386\sndvol32.ex_ %windir%\system32\sndvol32.exe


Error Message:
Can't open input file: filename.

Explanation:
The specified file cannot be opened. There might be too many files open
already, the path might not be valid, or the destination filename might
be the same as an existing directory name. Also, the file might be
read-only, locked, or on a write-protected disk.

User Action:
Make sure that you have correctly specified the path and filenames and
that
the destination filename is not the same as an existing directory name.
If you continue to receive this message, at the command prompt use the
attrib command to see if the input file is read-only and to make sure
the share command has not locked the file. If the input file is on a
floppy disk, make
sure the disk is not write-protected. If you still receive this message
and
you have other files open, close some files so the new file can be
opened. from...

Load you XP CD into your CD drive first before executing the command.

Change the X below to your CD drive letter and then paste or type the
following command into a command prompt (cmd.exe) window and hit your
Enter key.

expand X:\sndvol32.ex_ %windir%\system32\sndvol32.exe

Forget all of the rest of it.

I' m trying to load a file (sndvol32.exe) from my XP cd rom. I have
the instructions from MS (SEE:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319095/en-us)
on how to do this, but I'm have a problem. When I enter the correct
drive in the command prompt and hit enter as directed I don't get a
space to enter the next line. All I get is the same letter. As per
the
instructions I should have a space to enter the proper info.

Thanks
