Different, unexplained, Windows XP logon sound / music

Soulhunter123 · 09-06-2005, 06:26 PM

Hi there!

I recently bought a new system and have installed XP on it. It was completely new and unused, and I even formatted the hard drive, before installing Windows XP Professional with my CD, the same CD I have used in the past.
Now, as I said, I've used this CD many times to clean-up and re-install XP onto my older machine, however something is different on this new machine...

The windows logon sound. On the old machine I could describe it as being quite bright and happy, with something sounding like strings or keyboards in a short, 3 second melody.

Now, on this new computer, even after using the SAME installation CD, the music at logon was, from the beginning, a new track with "bongo-drum" type things and bubbly instruments...

Is there a reason for this change?! Thanks for the help

did you just install it or did you install any themes onto the computeR? And do you have Windows PLUS?

Hi there!

Nah, as I said, everything, software-wise, is the same. Installed to a blank hard drive, same CD as before. Just the sound's changed. This is before I've installed anything - just the XP itself and sound card drivers.
