    hey all,
    i've got a m1330 with vista on it and all of the sudden the speaker icon for volume control that sits in the task bar just disappeared. if i right click on the task bar, go to properties, under system icons the volume option is greyed out and won't let me select it. the sound works fine and i use dell quickset to see what my volume level is, but it was nice having an icon so i could tell if my computer was muted or not. please help me get this back.

    thanks
