i wonder if you have things set to 'hide inactive icons' in the systray? Message Edited by redwolfe_98 on 11-06-2003 07:15 AM

Today I e-mailed mirosoft about the volume button and they sent me back to dell saying it is there driver for the sound..."sounds like the run around" here is what they told me...

Please note that Sound drivers are not developed by Microsoft, so we may be unable to assist you with this. Since our Support Professionals are not trained to troubleshoot issues with sound drivers, we feel that your question would be best addressed by manufacturer's technical support. I would recommend you to contact DELL regarding this issue.

if dell has any idea where or what I need to do would be helpful

You don't have to have a really boring desktop and the volume icon. Just make your own theme. Right click desktop, Properties, Appearances tab, click Advanced. You can alter the colour text size, font of any element you want. After making your changes there, save the theme (Themes tab) as a new one, give it any name you like and set it as your default.
