Advanced Volume control Is missing from Taskbar and not working?

Asked By paulsimonsmith 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/16/2011

A few days ago I had a problem that I found my advanced volume control is missing from Taskbar and then I tried to find the function in control panel>sounds,speech and Audio devices and then clicked in Advanced volume control and then I found a dialog box which is given below. Would you tell me how I can get rid from this problem?

Windows  cannot find 'C:WINDOWSsystem32sndvol32.exe'.Make sure you type the name correctly,

and then try again. To search for a file click the Start button, and then click Search.
