Go to Add\Remove\Windows Setup\Multimedia\ and see if Volume Control is checked.
If it is uncheck\click ok then recheck it and OK.

John,
I had your same problem when I tried to upgrade audio drivers for my on-board Crystal
Audio Codec Sound devices. Here is the solution presented to me by Tech support for
my HP system. It worked in my case and I can't see it doing any harm to your friends
system.I am running W98SE also so should be the same on any machine. Restart machine
in the 'Safe' mode. Rightclick 'my computer' on desktop and click properties at the
bottom of drop down. In the sys. prop, click the device mngr. tab and go down to
the 'sound, video, & game controllers'. Click the plus beside this box, and you get
a list of all these devices installed on the machine. Highlight each item and click
on 'remove'. When you get to the last item and remove it, the entire catagory, 'sound,video,game',
will disappear from device mngr. Reboot to standard mode and machine will re-recognize
all devices you removed and re-install them. At this point, my speaker icon popped
back up on my taskbar, and sound started working again. Went into MultiMedia in control
panel and the 'Show' was no longer greyed out. Hope it works for you too and not
just a solution for my particular problem. Luck!!!
