Wayne, NJ | [XPHome] Display Settings Never Hold I like to have my display settings in the modified Windows Classic mode with the Start Navigation sound muted. However every time I turn my computer off it always reverts back to the default Windows XP mode with the Start Navigation sound back. Why won't my settings hold?

Wayne, NJ | Really? Three weeks without one reply? I'm getting tired of going into display settings everytime I turn off my computer and reset everything back to the way it I prefer before my settings keep getting wiped out. What more do I need how to explain this problem? I'm sure there's someone alot more computer saavy than me who knows what this could be.

Did you try removing the entry for the startup sound in the sounds control panel applet? |

Shutdown problems, maybe. Anything in the event log?
Do the settings hold across a logoff/logon (no shutdown) sequence? That would be a useful piece of diagnostic data to have. It might even "fix" the issue by saving the settings the way you want, so you don't notice they're not getting saved at shutdown (though if it were my PC I'd still want to know why). |

Where in the event log should I look? Application or System?

I go to the Sounds and Audio Devices applet in the control panel. I click Sounds and scroll down to Internet Explorer and to Start Navigation. I go to the menu and click No Sound.

Piscataway, NJ | You need to set the startup sound to none in the sound events listing. |

Both. But 'system' seems more likely. (It'll probably make it easier if you use the 'filter' mechanism to show only the non-informational events)
I use no password, so if I try it will it automatically log me back on?

Event View--System--Filter Errors:
The system can't find my .JOB file or my MCSTRM file.

Yes this is exactly what you should do!
Goto control panel/sounds and choose START and select NONE for it and click ok (It should accept it and it will be muted next time you start)
Good luck  |

Re: [XPHome] Display Settings Never Hold .job is related to the task scheduler. Does the time correlate to logoff/shutdown?
MCSTRM is something to do with Real Audio. |
