Hi Ariane,

PL] Do you perhaps mean the system tray? There is a checkbox in the
properties of the volume control that determines whether it is visible on
the system tray. I suspect the problem is caused by a sticky control key.
What operating system is your computer running? Also, what brand and model
of keyboard are you using?
My J-Say computer is running Windows XP professional and I am using a
Logitech Dinovo keyboard.

Thank you, .. Right now I can find no reference to a volume control on my
taskbar. I'll keep looking for it in case some other keystroke brought it
up by accident.
