I have XP home. Just recently, I noticed that my startup and shutdown sounds fail to play when i'm starting up or shutting down my computer. They always worked before, so i'm not sure of what could be wrong. The strange thing is ..

.. yes, my speakers are on and my sound works fine
.. All other system sounds and other sounds work fine (the logon/logoff sounds work)
.. The 'startup' and 'shutdown' sounds work when I preview them in 'Sounds and Audio Devices'
.. I'm the admin of the computer and it's the only user account I have (besides the 'Guest' Account which isn't used)

It's not a big problem, but i'd like to fix it if possible. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks.
