After a series of automatic updates, Windows Vista Home Premium, my volume
control is missing from the tray. Where do I got to put it back? Anyone
else have that happen?

"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason
backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a
very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs
of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so
the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason
synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock

Right-click in the notification area, choose Properties.

Is the box for that checked?

I had a similar problem but when I tried to turn it on in the Start menu
properties the box was grayed out and I couldn't check it.
I updated my sound drivers from the one that installed with windows to the
one that I got from HP (my pc manufacture)
After rebooting I was able to check the box and get my volume control back.

Hi,

I see you got several replies, but wanted to mention that most likely you
have Hardware updates set to download as well. Uncheck this and NEVER
download these updates from the MS site. If things aren't broken then don't
fix them. If you do need any hardware drivers then go to the manufactures
site and get the latest drivers.
