Windows Forum / Windows 95 / April 2008WinXP Suddenly Playing Win95 Start-Up Jingle!!
Hey, anyone know what happened here?? After I installed MS Office97 Small Business Edition the other day, my WinXP SP2 laptop has been booting up with the Win95 -- that's **95** -- jingle instead of the usual WinXP one! How did that happen??? And is this something I can customize?? Pretty cool, but it'd be even better if I could define what audio gets played (or not at all, even!).... Anyone know??

I wonder why installing Office97 SBE caused the OS to do that.... >> Take a look at Start/Control Panel/Sounds, Speech, and Audio >> Devices/Change the sound scheme.

I suspect that the Office install did it. As you can see, you can change it if you like.

I hear that you can run Windows on Ubuntu using a VM. Have you tried this? If so how well did it work? >> On Apr 28, 10:46 am, Prisoner at War <prisoner_at_...@yahoo.com> >> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > I hear that you can run Windows on Ubuntu using a VM. Have you > tried this? If so how well did it work? Many, many people do this. It works just fine, assuming your machine is at least moderately recent. (Older machines will run s-l-o-o-o-w.) However, I'd use something besides Ubuntu, but that's just a "personal preference" thing. (Slackware rocks. Use it.)  SignatureYou may now log in to life.

Office 97 isn't supposed to change the startup sound -- in theory. It's never done it to me, and I still use it on some machines. > also you should consider switching to ubuntu 8.04. it is the best. Yeah, that's the best solution. Problem: Startup sound has been changed. Solution: Change to a different operating system. Can you spot the flaw in your logic?

Ubuntu devotees are like Republicans and a tax cut: It fixes the economy, cures cancer, and relives the pain from bee-bites. There is a difference, of course: with tax cuts, it's true. > Ubuntu devotees are like Republicans and a tax cut: It fixes the economy, > cures cancer, and relives the pain from bee-bites.
