Do a search for SndVol32.exe which is the volume control, if found double
click it.
Otherwise go here - Download the program (SndVol32.exe)

I've lost the sound icon from the taskbar and can't get the sound
icon in Control Panel to respond. It will highlight when I click
on it once but when I click twice I get a momentary hourglass
then nothing.

I'm wondering if it would be workable to re-install my OS.

I'm running Windows XP Pro with SP 2 installed. This is on a new
computer with an Intel Core 2 duo processor, two 1 GB DDRAM
sticks and a 500 GB hard drive. For the most part the comptuer
works very well, but it frequently balks or re-starts when tying
to boot.

During shut down I get two messages...End Program DEVLDR and End
Program rundll32. I have to click on End to kill these so the
computer will complete the shut down process, then when I re-boot
it usually takes 3 or 4 trys before it gets up and running. It
will stall out and bo back to square one at the time I click on
the User icon to complete the start-up process.

My question...would it be prudent to re-install Windows XP Pro
from my ubgrade CD, then do an on-line update to get back to the
current configuration?

I still have my old Windows 2000 CD if the above process requires
a verification before installing the upgrade version of Windows
XP Pro

Thanks, Gordon
