Sorry Harold, I didn't see the friend part of this. If he was adjusting the volume from the keyboard then just reinstall the keyboard software.

He doesn't mean a bar as in "menu bar" or "user bar" --- He's talking about bars, a series of green vertical lines (he calls them bars) that appear above the taskbar that increase or decrease in number showing how the volume changes. On my keyboard (which, like my computer, is also 5 years old), I have a knob above the numeric pad. It increases or decreases the number of vertical green lines showing visually the change in volume, and then disappears from the screen. Seems this visual display is what he lost. Would there be a way of retrieving that? --- Harold Original Question: A friend writes to me as follows: "I used to have visual "bars" just above my taskbar that increased or decreased as I adjusted the volume. They disappeared when I got a v*rus or bug. Can I get them back?" I told him to make sure he has AVG Anti-V*rus or a protector of similar quality and I'd let him know. Any suggestions? ... Harold Clint says: I've never seen any "volume bars" on any Win98 or XP install. It must be some other app/software he installed and he just doesn't remember it. As to why they disappeared, I don't know why any malware would be so specific in removing that piece of software, even after cleaning (if he did that). There's a chance this "volume bars app" is Java, Script, or ActiveX based, and the malware or cleaning thereof could have damaged it. - - Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
