I've recently had to send my computer away to be fixed, and, only after having it back for about a month now, I have noticed that a few things are missing that should normally be there after a regular XP reinstall. Firstly, I don't have Paint, or any of the programmes usually found in the Entertainment, or Games menu of the All Programmes list. This didn't/doesn't bother me, as I almost never used these, but it's just something I've noticed. Now today, after installing a new microphone/webcam, I went in Sound in control panel, and when I clicked on volume on the 'Audio' tab, I was told that SndVol32.exe was not installed. Now, I can't say either way, if this was present when I did get my computer back, but I do have 2 questions:
1) Will the lack of SndVol32.exe have any consequences?
2) How did the file disappear in the first place, and why are none of the programmes installed under the Entertainment, or games tabs?
The only reason I ask, is that it has worried me slightly that if these are missing, I'm not entirely sure what else could be missing, that could be vital.....
Cheers,
Alex
