Startup Sound for XP

[Harry]

The startup sound for XP doesn't work - no sound at all.
Otherwise all other programs' sound features are
working. Any ideas on how to fix it.

Startup Sounds are missing:
TweakUI/General/Beep on errors (verify that the box is checked).

System Sounds are missing:
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key: HKEY_USERS. If it doesn't
have a Data entry in the right pane that reads: (value not set), double
click (Default) and delete it.
If it does, check your HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21 keys for the same.

If you prefer, use one of Kelly's tweaks:-
