The missing system volume icon is a known issue with 3539 (it is related to an issue with kX and the Windows Mixer), but it should not be a problem with other versions of kX (although it may not be enabled by default). If this is a major problem for you (see the 3539 Bug Reports thread for more info and workarounds), then just use 3538m instead. In any case, with the kxmixer issue you are having (is the icon just disappearing, or is kxmixer quiting/crashing too?), an OS reinstall may be a good idea (it is good to do every once in a while, but you might try just reapplying SP2 before resorting to a full reinstall (for that matter, I would probably do a little more troubleshooting first as well... i.e. use MSCONFIG to do a selective startup and disable any AV software, etc to see if another application is causing the problem, etc)).
