I had been posting this problem in the Operating System's section, thinking it was a software problem. Basically, my computer crashes occasionally and reboots by itself, and even causes VxD errors every now and again. Another problem is that my monitor displays the message 'Video Cable...

This thread COMPLETELY lost the plot, didn't it?

Well, I scanned both of my computers and I don't have this file at all. Anywhere. And they both work fine too. Does a 'blue screen of death' appear asking for it? Is it something to do with a graphics card? Where was it held before you 'lost' it? A little more info would help us out here...

Well I found it on the Control Panel, 'Sounds and Multimedia Properties' (it really SHOULD be there) - on the first page of the first Tab 'Sounds' it's at the bottom in the form of a checkbox: "Show Volume control on the taskbar" - which should already be checked. That SHOULD help.

My research into your (kb244) 'expertise' has helped me to establish that you are not a man to whom I should be arguing with. So I won't. Oh.. one last thing, I live in England. And I don't know if you've ever heard - but things are FAR more expensive here than in the great US of A...

so everyone believes it's the hardware.... I'm not so sure. And although I'm not brilliant at this sort of thing - I'm pretty certain it's a software problem. Well, I now manage my own Virtual memory, did various other 'fiddles', and reseated the RAM. My computer now always boots up correctly...

I know what it is. Windows ME is a test. A test from Microsoft, to see if ppl DESERVE to use their computers. I bought a new HP Pavillion 8770 model. (733 MHz Celeron, 64 MB Ram, 20 GB HD, Intel 810i chipset - integrated sound and AGP graphics on board) I set the whole thing up and thought...
