well im having a bit of trouble. The little speaker icon on the tray wont show during startup. The only way it appears if i logoff my comp and back on. I have it to show when windows starts but it still doesnt.
From what you are saying you have been to Control Panel/Multimedia/Audio and it is ticked there....
Type msconfig in the Run box and ensure that there is an entry for SystemTray in the Startup tab, and it is ticked.
[This is one of the "very few" reasons for this entry in msconfig, despite so many websites strangely insisting that it remains ticked].

i ticked it on in multimedia, and i restarted but it didnt start, i have systemtray n all the important ones ticked in msconfig options. It just doesnt want to start.
Very odd. Sometimes Windows can be like a bad child, needs telling more than once LOL.
Try this: Un-tick icon in Multimedia. Reboot. Tick icon in Multimedia. Reboot.

Are you runnning a nortons or mcaffee windows checkup program?
If not try deleting the rb00*.cab files under windows/sysbackup. these files hold your settings. Don't worry deleting all of them won't hurt your system as long as your system isn't crashing.
If it works be sure to reboot. This will save a cab file that can be restored in case of an emergency.
