| 479723 | 2006-08-20 11:23:00 | Hey Team Was messing with changing the startup sound and did it easily , but its pretty short, was wanting like it playing for a minute, i had a whole song as the startup but windows only played about 15 seconds . Is it possible to make it play longer? Cheers Term X Win XP Pro Edit: Okay just rebooted and it was a paltry 10 seconds lol |

| 479726 | 2006-08-20 12:03:00 | thanks developer and trev, can you describe exactly step by step how to do this? You mentioned getting my mp3 player to do this, rather than change it the sound scheme settings which is what i did . Cheers! |

| 479727 | 2006-08-21 03:46:00 | Since Windows recognizes . wav files the easiest when it's booting, just use Audacity to convert something you want to run into . wav format and then browse for it and set it as the Windows Startup Sound . Be sure to save the old sounds as some name you can recognize first . . then feel free to make as many different sounds as you like in the sounds area . >>MY COMPUTER >>CONTROL PANEL >>Sounds And Audio Devices >>Sounds tab . . . . and go from there . |
