Hello to anyone has knowledge of, or has a good PC fault-finding background
on how to fix this problem:
Somehow I have lost my advanced volume controls in Windows XP -
(Professional SP1, 2002).
If the volume controls are selected from the quick launch icon (in the
system tray to the right of the task bar), or from Control panel ,the volume
control application will appear in the taskbar, and from there I can
right-click and elect to move, minimise, restore and maximise the volume
controls, but regardless of my actions the application does not appear on the
desktop.
I have ensured the volume drivers are ok and the speakers are appropriate
for the system (this is a Toshiba Tecra Notebook). The only cause I can think
of is that I have been using dual screens, but I have tested to make sure
the application is not trying to appear on the second screen. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled the SoundMAX driver, and verified this by losing
and gaining sound, but this does not help the volume control problem.
Any hints?
(Toshiba will not respond to my request for assistance, and Microsoft will
not provide further support for my licence. This is work, I'm not paying!)
Please note that I have personally seen the volume controls to work and
respond on this PC.
Thanks and regards,
Ben.
