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?

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.

All the best,
