    I also lost the ability to restore using the dell factory image. At boot I can access it by pressing F8, then it brings me to a screen where it shows a user other. Nothing I enter can access it.

    Hi Venom.

    Its a little unclear what your talking about, by boot-up sound, do you have a little beep, or the 'welcome' type of music upon login.

    What could you have done to remove it?

    Nothing, I don't really use my PC much anymore. Its when you get to the windows logo screen there was so music that would chime. Now nothing. I did pull a Trojan off yesterday.

    Well, since you had a trojan there might be some leftovers that are trying to mess with your PC.

    Hm, well perhaps a virus isn't the point at fault here.

    Try going to your control panel and look for anything that has to do with start-up sound. Generally its in the Personalization section.

    Is the startup sound the only issue you have with sound?

    Try going to a start => run line, type in

    sfc /scannow

    and clicking OK.

    Since sound seems OK except for the system ones the system file checker may be able to locate and replace a bad or missing file and get you back in business.

    Otherwise, system start-up repair from your vista installation disk should fix this, but prepared to reinstall the updates since SP2
