I use xp pro and have Microsoft PLUS installed wich gives me a few extra
themes to choose from. Everything works great except when i log in or out of
windows i dont get any sounds, no matter what theme i use. It used to work
fine and i am not sure exactly when it stopped. I checked my sounds
configuration and i can play the start up and shutdown sounds by testing them
but they wont work when actually starting or shutting down windows. Even if i
just use the regular XP theme i still dont get any sound. All other sounds
work fine, it is a strange problem , any idea what is wrong?

Thanks TaurArian ,very good links. I had to add the registry entry twice for
some reason but it worked. I wonder how those entries got deleted in the
first place?
