I am running x64, follow the steps and it doesn't work..
I copied the imageres.dll to desktop, modified it by reshack, and boot the system by XP. Open window7's drive, copy and paste the file from desktop to system32. However, when I boot my computer by windows7, I receive the error "Window Explorer has stopped working" ( Problem Signature: Event Name APPCRASH ) and asking me to restart the program. I can hear the modified sound once I click restart. But it is annoying since I have to click it every time.. Any help is appreciated. |

Why You have to hack or regedit for change of startup sound!?! Just go to personalization - sounds and change whatever sound You like.

Did you rename the imageres.dll to imageres.old then copy and paste the new hacked imageres.dll into C:\windows\system32 directory or did you just copy/paste it into the system32 directory. Try it as I have above and see if that makes a difference. |

Did you use the reshack program I gave link too for X64 windows> Not sure if that will make difference or not.
Also using the take ownership file works great. Then no problems at all. Just trying to help pinpoint your problem. |

O_O
Startup sound, or logon sound? If it's your logon sound, then just go System>Sounds If it's your startup sound, then I think it's more than just editing your imageres.dll file But I'm not sure, I don't do much mod work with 64-bit Windows, it's just a pain in my arse. |

Ugh... man, I'm seriously lost... This is killing me...
I followed everything down to the last punctuation mark... I have reshacker. I have the "take ownership" option. I used the "take ownership" option on the imageres.dll file and all I have to do is change the permissions around to give the user, me, full control. I have an issue though :\ with my computer, when I go to change permissions, it shows two users even though there's one. The users have the same name, but one says "<not inherited>" while the other says "C:\Windows\System32". The "<not inherited>" one has full control while the windows one doesn't. >_< any ideas as to why that is? Oh and I DID change the name of the original file to "imageres.old" and I tried to save the other file in the folder and it said it couldn't replace it. I also tried dragging and dropping which failed. My computer keeps automatically changing it back to the original state somehow. I check it with reshack and it plays the same sound as before even though I edited it. |

I am not sure why so many have problems. I have found another tutorial, and not sure if it would help you or not.
