cmd problem

I' m trying to load a file (sndvol32.exe) from my XP cd rom. I have the
instructions from MS (SEE:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319095/en-us)
on how to do this, but I'm have a problem. When I enter the correct drive
in the command prompt and hit enter as directed I don't get a space to enter
the next line. All I get is the same letter. As per the instructions I
should have a space to enter the proper info.

Thanks

Hello,

Assuming your CD-ROM drive is E, when you type

E:

And press Enter, your prompt should look like this

E:\>

And when you enter cd i386, your prompt should change to this

E:\I386>

...and so on. This is normal. Continue entering the remaining commands as
described in the article.

Back to your original problem, is your audio working in Windows Media player
and on Windows start-up?

Load you XP CD into your CD drive first before executing the command.

Change the X below to your CD drive letter and then paste or type the
following command into a command prompt (cmd.exe) window and hit your Enter
key.

expand X:\sndvol32.ex_ %windir%\system32\sndvol32.exe

Forget all of the rest of it.

Thanks. Received the following message:The system cannot find file
specified.

Yes my audio is working but I need the volume control for a project that I'm
working on (LP tp Wav).

Oops. The command that I posted was incorrect, I forgot I386. Sorry.

Try this command, but change the X: to your drive letter.

expand X:\I386\sndvol32.ex_ %windir%\system32\sndvol32.exe


Error Message:
Can't open input file: filename.

Explanation:
The specified file cannot be opened. There might be too many files open
already, the path might not be valid, or the destination filename might be
the same as an existing directory name. Also, the file might be read-only,
locked, or on a write-protected disk.

User Action:
Make sure that you have correctly specified the path and filenames and that
the destination filename is not the same as an existing directory name. If
you continue to receive this message, at the command prompt use the attrib
command to see if the input file is read-only and to make sure the share
command has not locked the file. If the input file is on a floppy disk, make
sure the disk is not write-protected. If you still receive this message and
you have other files open, close some files so the new file can be opened.

Hello,

Does..

Start > Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Volume Control

...exist?

Also, are you using the original Windows XP Disc and not a Recovery Disc?

Try this command instead (modified Wesley's one)

expand I:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ %windir%\system32\sndvol32.exe
