castillo_corp, is this what you have already tried? http://www.jakeludington.com/ask_jake/20050307_restoring_the_windows_volume_control.html

castillo_corp,

Put the Windows XP in the CD-ROM drive. Go to Start|Run, enter cmd and click OK. At the command prompt enter the following, substituting the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive for X:

expand x:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe and click .

There is a space after ex_. You should see a message that a file has been expanded and you should then be able to display the volume icon by checking the entry in the Sounds and Audio Devices applet in Control Panel.

castillo_corp,

I think you made a typographical error. You expand the file from x:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ into C:\Windows\system32\sndvol32.ex e. Right-click sndvol32.ex and rename it to sndvol32.exe.
