windows xp startup sound

[beamer]

I have 3 accounts set up on win xp pro. over the weekend i installed a cordless mouse and a new keyboard and after that the startup sound and shutdown sound will not play, but they do still play on the other 2 accounts. i have tried everything i can think of to correct this ploblem but nothing seems to work. i am by far no expert when it comes to fixing problems on computers, perhaps i'm missing something. any suggestions?

I had that same thing happen but the problem ended up being my soundcard mixer settings. I have a soundblaster audigy 2zs soundcard and I had been fiddling around with some settings. I put everything back to default setting and my startup sound is back.

Hope this helps!
