SndVol32.exe windows can not execute

Question

I am trying to use Skype.  I can see and hear my friend, but she can not see or hear me. Initially both computers worked properly.  According to Skype my volume control is muted.  Following instructions, I have clicked on the control panel -> volume and audio and then was referred to the add/remove program to add the file sndvol.exe. Then windows says it can not execute sndvol.32.  I followed the instructions to connect to microsoft support for help.  Microsoft wants to charge me $54.00 dollars to correct the missing or damaged file.  Microsoft said that I could have this problem corrected free by Dell.  Please help me correct this problem.

try uninstalling your audio driver in add|remove programs then reinstall the driver (preferably the latest one from the dell site).
