JSI Tip 5437. When you start Windows XP, the startup sound pops and pauses?

The subject condition only happens on some combinations of hardware and device drivers.

1. Control Panel / Sounds and Audio Devices.

2. On the Sounds tab, locate and select Start Windows, under Program Events.

3. Select (None) in the Sounds box.

4. Press Apply and OK.
