Guest wanttoknow Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I have checked my Sound Card & Speakers all ok. I can play CDs with full sound but, for no reason I can fathom the normal sound themes are gone (like stating & shutdown etc) I have also been umable to show the volume control in start up even though I have checked the box. The computer is working fine but I keep thinking I have gone deaf. Can anyone please advise a solution. -- Alf
Guest Kelly Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Windows XP Home Sound Themes Startup and Shutdown Sounds are missing: Two Checkpoints and Two edits: TweakUI/General/Beep on errors (verify that the box is checked). If you have installed Neromix 1.3.039, here is the fix: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER In the right pane you should see: (Default) REG_SZ (Value not set). After installing Neromix 1.3.039 the Value data changes to nothing (No Name)or (Default) REG_SZ and nothing under Data. But if you right click and choose "Modify Binary Data" you will see there is a value. Simply right click the string and delete it. From there Windows will create the (Default) string which restores your sound.
