Volume Icons mysteriously dissapers. DEvice cannot start

[Destructo]

For the past couple of days my volume icon on my laptop has been dissapearing and reappearing with eavery startup.

Sometimes it loads and sometimes it does not. Its a very strange thing. I check the device manager and it says that this Device Cannot Start (Code 10).

Ive even uninstalled the drivers for my sound card
Interl(r) 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller

I am currently runnign Windows XP Pro and have Mcafee Anivirus installed.

What can be done? Does this mean that my sound card is a gonner?

I dont get it, as the driver n all install just fine.......its just the message that I get after that which say the device could nto start. Weird.

I had similar problems earlier ... But only becoz of bad drivers...
try to get updated drivers for your device
