Ok, let me rephrase it. One of two things happen every time I boot my computer:

1) Volume Control isn't in the Stray. No games work.

2) Volume Control is in the Stray. Everything works normaly.

Just now, I tried Multimedia in the control panel, and "Show Volume control on the taskbar" was greyed out. So was everything in playback. Right now there is no volume control in the taskbar.


No sound works when it is gone, and it brings up the standard windows volume control.
