i8200 Sound Display Bar on Screen? Where can I download it?

Question

My situation is that.. when I got my laptop, I formated the Windows XP Home Edition and revamped it to Win2k Pro.  But ever since I have done that.. I know I am missing a couple of cool features that came pre-built with the laptop from Dell.  For example.  The sound display increase/decrease bar on the screen.  What utility is that?  Where can I obtain that utility?  And also the keyboard extra keys (e.g. play, stop, fastfoward, rewind button) where can I get the utility to enable those keys as well?  I checked the downloads section already and I could not find it.  I am wondering if you guys or moderators can help me out here.. by the way I still love my laptop!!! Way to go dell it has been over 3 months with this laptop.  It has made me shift away from my desktop dual screen. :)

fyi :

i have figured out the keyboard situation myself. I just checked under settings - control panel - keyboard and in those tabs there were something called an ACCESS DIRECT tab which allows you to configure the buttons. :) Soo I just need sugguestions for the sound display now..

hey

i wonder if you are referring to the speaker icon that displays in the system tray;
i know when you single-click on it, a volume slider comes up.. is this what you wanted?
anyway if it is, it should be in Sound and Audio Device Properties , under the control panel. put a check in 'Place volume icon in taskbar'

hope this helps

When I got my 8200 with the enhanced keyboard , anytime I depressed any of the sound keys a volume controls bars woud display on the bottom part of my crt display with increasing number of bars as I increased the volume. Anyway the bars no longer display when I depress the keyboard sound keys ?  I can work the volume from the sound icon on the taskbar............. My question is how do I put the volume bars back on the screen ?

Dell QuickSet will do this for you, but I suggest you don't use any of the power management stuff cuz it screws with you comp.
