Startup Sound - Change in Windows 7

thanks i have done...

When I go into the system32 file,I take ownership then I copy the .dll then I paste it on my desktop. Then I run RH and replace it with the sound I want and put in the WAVE, 5080 and 1033. Then I save it. I move the 'orignial' into the folder on my desktop then try to move the edited file back into the system32 file. This is what happens.

(Please note I am logged into an administrator account on this PC. But I still take ownership and run as administrator)










I have also tried to move the original .dll out of system32 into a folder on my desktop then moving the edited version off my desktop and into the system32 folder. And it moves in there but then if I restart it doesn't play any sound at all. (Yes play windows sound is clicked in the sound option) And if I open the edited one inside system32 it plays the original windows startup sound not my edited .wav file.


Anyone else having this issue got a workaround?

So, now that Im off work I tried what you said with the recovery disk. And it said it copied it but when I clicked re-start it didn't play any sound and if I click it in system32 and use resource hacker it plays the default music. But if I copy it and paste it on my desktop and use resource hacker it plays the one I want it too.

Ok, I got the .wav file in media. I got the .dll updated on my desktop. I put in the CD and ran command prompt. I did as the instructions said. And I got "Access denied, 0 files copied."

Any ideas?

It's C drive. It worked the first time around, when I did it when the .wav was in a folder on my desktop. But once I moved the .wav and re-edited the .dll it gave me that error.
