Scan for Viruses and spyware.

You might need to reinstall your soundcard drivers if they are damaged.

it's the lil bars/meter that goes across the bottom of the screen when you adjust the volume.  The sound works great , it's just the bars thats missing. They disappeared when I deleted the Trojan Virus.

I'm new at this... How do I reinstall my soundcard drivers?

[Raptor]

Try the following first:

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel Sounds and Audio Devices -> tag "place Icon for volume control in systembar"

Freely translated.

I've already done the above...the sound icon has always been on my task bar...it's just the lil bars that goes across the bottom of my screen that are missing... the ones that shows you when adjusting/turning the volume up & down.  I have no idea how to get that back.

YES!  that's it!

Doesn't that usually have to do with the keyboard sound button?  At least that's been my experience.  Do you have one of those special keyboard with an Internet / email / Favorites / etc buttons?  If so you may need software (usually from the manufacturer) to get them loaded.

You need special drivers for that, they're related to your keyboard.
