Booting problem

Fooling around with sounds has got the sounds all fouled up.

I always was able to push a button on the keyboard and there would be yellow lines going across the bottom that would show the volume and if I pressed the mute button it would show on the screen whether it was on or off. It does not do this any more. I rechecked keyboard mgr in msconfig and that did not fix it.
I don't know how to get it back to work right.
What did I do that made it not work any longer??

Lets stick to the problem at hand,,
are you still getting a freeze when restarting at the desktop
have you restarted several times to see if it always happens,,?
do you have a sound event when windows starts ?and a shutdown sound ..?

Give us some History.. when did this problem start.. any changes you made prior to the problem that you can think of ?
like adding any devices ?

check here to if you would.. system information

Start Menu>Programs>Accessories>System Tools> system informaytion look under problem devices ?

another way to change those sound's is to use some other desktop theme
thats also in control panel(if its installed) ? what happend ?

Yes it restarted, but I had to change the sound back to the original because using new ones caused the comp. to keep freezing.

No problem devices.

Problem started quite a while ago.

Sound is all fouled up now. The vol. and mute indicator that is controlled by buttons on the keyboard has disappeared and rechecking keyboard mgr does not fix it. I can't get it back...
OSD has disappeared from the C+A+D panel and it is not on the computer any more.
I don't know what has happened but sound does not work right anymore.

There is sound when it starts and exits if that is what you mean by an event, but I had to change back to the original sounds because changing them caused problems that I am still unable to fix.

I need to fix the keyboard sound buttons but I don't know what broke them...

 

I went back to control panel and rechecked enable multimedia but now it says it can't find the keyboard manager. That is probably why the vol buttons don't work any more. But, I didn't uninstall the keyboard manager so where did it go?

All I wanted you to try to do is go into Control Panel\Sounds, scroll down and look for the event named "Start Windows ", and change it to "None ", so that no music or anything else plays on windows startup. I see that you have done that, do you still have the freezing?
From what I read here, you should change more of them to "None ".

Did you disable this in Msconfig?
