Run it and find out what hardware you have installed and all kinds of other
neat things. Of course, if your machine has a brand and model number, it
*may* make things a lot easier, but then again, it may not, depending on the
brand.

By detault Windows stores SNDVOL32.CNT in \Windows\Help.
The Systray volume control is toggled on/off in

Does the computer have the installation files from the CD, on the hard drive? Many
manufacturers included the Win98 installation files (which include a large number of
..cab files) in this folder tree:
C:\Windows\Options\Cabs
First, click Start> Settings> Folder Options> View tab, and click to enable "Show
All Files" and click OK.
Now look for that folder tree and let us know if the location exists on your
computer, and if it contains a large number of .cab files.

Is the sound device internal? You could always pick up a cheap Creative
Sound Blaster after Glen and others help you get rid of the error message(s).

Since you don't seem to have seen my earlier reply, I will repeat:

included the Win98 installation files (which include a large number of .cab files)
in this folder tree:
C:\Windows\Options\Cabs

That's because the required Windows Component named "Volume Control" needs
to be installed or uninstalled/reinstalled. (Start>Settings>Control
Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Windows Setup tab>Multimedia>Details button. It's
at the bottom of the list.
FACT: You cannot decently maintain a Windows OS without the installation
files. Suggest you get a set. If you don't have the disk, use Find>Files &
Folders to search for files named WIN98*.CAB and see if several dozen don't
show up. If they do, the folder they are in is your Windows installation
source and you should make a CD copy or two of that folder in case you ever
need to reinstall the system (presuming it includes Setup.exe, which, if
there are dozens of CAB files, is pretty likely.)
If you need/want to buy a copy: LINK (That's an EBay
list of results.)
You might also want to download BootIt NG from
LINK run the EXE to create a
floppy installation disk (or CD ISO to create a CD version), boot to the
installation disk, let it load, but CANCEL at the installation prompt. That
will drop you Maintenance Mode where you can click on Partition Work. Look
at the display of your HD's partitions. What's listed there. Perhaps a
hidden Restore partition or two?
And just what make/model is that machine, anyway? Or the motherboard model
number if yours is a "whitebox".

I am sure Gary would be willing to provide you with a Windows 98 Second
Edition cd because Gary was going to give one to slow"fast"15 poster but
he/she was really rude and so I doubt Gary will provide it to that person
now. Unfortunately, I am using all my copies of 98 Second Edition, otherwise
I would provide you with one myself. In addition, Ebay has legal full retail
copies of 98 Second Edition for about $50-$75 which is not bad for the price
of even a legacy os in my opinion. I do not see how we can easily fix your
pc without a copy of 98 SE on cd.
