Changing Windows 7 Startup Sound 10 Hours

No Startup Sound Windows 10

This worked for me.Best to use ResHacker to make the changes, I found XN resEditor did not work in Win 7 or XP. That doesn't work. When trying to save it, I get a code 50, the request is not supported error.Likewise.I wonder if it's because my version of Win-7 is 64 bit.I was totally unable to get that file changed with my own music file in it.Now going to try the alternate Hacker program for the 64 bit.Later: I finally got it using the second Resource Hacker program. But even then it was not smooth sailing. I don't think I'll be doing that exercise again, any time soon.Thanks for all the help.The Doctor.
