Ok, I'm using Windows XP with the service packs and everything. Ever since my brother put a load of Command & Conquer on and off the PC one day I haven't been able to open the (Advanced) Volume Controls. I can open the one-click miniture one from the tray, but not the one that controls inputs, etc. too.
Or rather, it opens but doesn't show anything other than that the taskbar thinks it's open.
I've tried replacing the file and opening it different ways, as well as Googling for answers and trying Windows Help Centre, but nothing works (especially Windows Help Centre).
Any idea what to do?

Maybe it's just off the screen area? Try right clicking it in the taskbar, select Move, then arrow keys and/or mouse movement should bring it back on the screen.
Good vibrations, Bad vibrations it’s all about vibrations!! RAM would like to introduce a new signature level knob developed for the mighty Silver Rock potentiometer. The standard bakelite knob is certainly the best sounding compromise... but now Audio Consulting has taken this aspect of the Silver Rock much further. The new knobs are custom made with beech wood and bronze where the bronze is used as the insert to mount to the stem of the volume pot. The beech wood is coated several times with C37 lacquer for best sound as pointed out by Dieter Ennemoser. How can this make a difference??? Well, hearing is believing as we always say. The sound becomes much more open and free flowing with a nice improvement in resolution. Dynamics are better and overall naturalness is improved. Here is a test for all you Silver Rock owners. Try removing the bakelite knobs and listen. You will be shocked by this! The signature knobs will have an even greater effect…really amazing! The point here is the micro vibrations created by the volume pots and knobs find their way into the delicate signal path and cause degradation (Bad vibrations equal bad sound). With the signature knobs micro vibrations from the C37 concept of wood, bronze and the lacquer itself compensate for the volume pots and provide (Good Vibrations) our ear/brain combination like to hear…way better sound!!
Knobs can easily be installed on all versions of the Silver Rock potentiometer.
