Missing MS programs

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I first reported on 14th that after an MS update including the "new" trojan
and malware fixer that I had lost all the games folder in Accessories.
One that I had on the desk top( Spider) is now located in Service Pack file
i386!
Now I have found that there is no Calculator!
And when I have no sound running Media player, I find no tray icon. Through
Control Panel when i try to activate soud it says that it isnt installed,
although the speakers work.
Is MS OS falling apart or can I get a fix please?

Done that. As I said, that was when i was informed that the "Volume Control
program has not been installed".
