I operate a PowerPCG4 on 10.5.8. The Volume icon in the taskbar has disappeared after installing a demo version Virus Barrier X6. Not sure if that new Icon had taken up the space of the Volume icon or if there should be room for all. Can anyway suggest how I can restore the Volume icon? Thanks.

1. System Preferences - Sound - place a check by 'Show volume in menu bar'. If it's already checked, uncheck it, close preferences - open them back up and recheck it.

That doesn't work:

2. Uninstall Virus Barrier X6


(maybe I should have reversed those two)

I did as you suggested but nothing changed. I then repeated your instructions but this time I rebooted and lo and behold the icon re-appeared. Thanks.

Ahh, the famous reboot method - never know what that will cure. Glad you got it sorted.
