Hank, To get your sound Icon back next to your clock, Open up settings, control panel, and then the sound option. You should now find a box that needs to be ticked, and then the icon will reappear on the task bar. I still can't think of a reason you would get no sound from WMP either, the only thing that has gone through my mind, is for you to run SFC, System File Checker. It may or may not help, but it will certainly do no damage. Open the run box and just type in SFC, and make sure you have your Windows CD in the CD drive too. Hope that helps.
