The speaker icon has disappeared (lower right). I have no control of the
volume and it is set to zero.
I need volume control - machine is useless to me without it.
How do I get it back and prevent it from disappearing again?
Many thanks

Hi Dwarf ...
Many thanks for your response - I really do appreciate it.
I did look at the Tutorial that you offered and I find that there is no help
there although it sure looks like there would be a hint at least. All I
want is to get my work done and this machine just won't allow it (I paid
$1700 for two of these Vista machines). If you know how to bring back that
icon, please advise. I simply don't have time to research it further.
Lin
PS Do you know why my query is in red? what is that all about?

Hey Dwarf:
Much as I hate to do it, I did take the time to read deeper into the
Tutorial that you offered and I found the check box and it did bring the
icon back, including volume control.. Now I am wondering why it got
unchecked in the first place. All I need is a computer that will perform as
advertised; I simply can't spare the time required to keep MS products
running. Many thanks again for your "tip".
Lin

Thanks Camper - Very nice of you. I thought I was "the Bad Guy" again or
something.
