To anyone else looking to solve this problem: try going to add/remove programs. Click on add/remove windows components. Make sure that the "accessories" box is checked, along with whatever else you want to be on your computer (checked means it will be there when you're done). Choose "next" and follow any instructions. Don't be alarmed if the computer freezes after the wizard completes; just manually restart using the power button. After restart, go to the sounds and audio devices link in the control panel, and click place volume icon in the taskbar.
