Probably the sound card. Try checking device manager for any big yellow question marks. (right click "my computer", properties, hardware, device manager)


When you say "rebooted ages ago" do you mean restarting the pc or reformatting?

It seems you are missing your audio drivers. Do you know what kind of sound card you have or what brand and model your pc is?

Glad it worked for ya :)

Go into sounds and audio devices in your control panel and on the volume tab there is a checkbox for placing the icon in your system tray. (If you don't use classic view in your control panel, go here for the instructions: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/tips/volume.mspx)
