UNSOLVED
Windows Startup Music
Ok, last question...
When I turn on my computer, it would go almost all the way through that Windows bootup sound, and near the end (80% to 90%) it "glitches". Pauses for a second and then makes a loud crackling noise. Very irritating. I went into Control Panel -> Sounds where I could change it, and when I previewed it, it sounds fine. So I do not believe it is a corrupted sound file.
How can I fix it?
Thanks.

Willfxp....I've heard what you describe. And I've heard it on more than one PC and on PC's belonging to other owners. You're correct; sound file not corrupted. I temporarily disabled some of the startup programs and the problem disappeared. There seems to be a conflict with the loading of one of the startup programs and the playing of the Windows startup music. You can look at that possibility if you want. I decided I wasn't going to waste my time. Good luck.
