Start up sounds

[deepak.krishnan]

Hello friends
After I installed SP2 of XP,my start up sound isn't working.Can you help me?

 

[Chirag]

Control Panel --> Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices --> Sounds and Audio Devices --> Sounds Tab. Find the Windows Start sound there. Hope it helps.

1 thing i can suggest u , if u want any other music or song convert in wave format and assign to startup and save the theme as suggested u earlier .
at least some thing works !!!!

Are u using any 3rd party firewall? It might be that the firewall has disabled startup sounds to enable faster booting of ur PC. Have u used any 3rd party software, to increase the booting speed of ur PC? It might be hat ur registry got tweaked & the start-up sounds were disabled..

Thirdly, Did u use autopatcher to patch up Win XP? Because, I realised that startup sounds on my PC got disabled abruptly after I had run autopatcher on my PC...

Check out on the 3 possibilities & write back...

I had used Autopatcher XP and also a firewall sometime before.But I uninstalled firewall.
Is there any way to enable it?

@UFO007
Did you disable some services after installing SP2?

You may use softwares such as Sound Forge or freewares such as Audacity to convert mp3s to wav format

hey cybermanas
I did not disable any settings myself.I dont know if Autopatcher XP does so.

Well my start up sounds were working properly untill the last month when I had installed some programs such as XP SP 2 ,Kerio Personal Firewall.So I think it may be related to those.
