Just the Windows startup and shutdown sounds don't work but all others do?

Generally all windows sounds are off.

The No System Sounds problem can be easily fixed by installing the K-Lite Codec Pack!

Then what you need to do is go to Start > Programs > K-Lite Codec Pack > Configuration > Codec Tweak Tool and check the box next to [Registry] Fix non-working system sound.

There is no need to install K-lite Codec Pack to use Codec Tweak Tool.

Codec Tweak Tool is also available as standalone program here:

Click "Download Now" to download it.

Double-click on CodecTweakTool_537.exe -> click on "Fixes" button -> check the box next to "Fix broken sound" -> Apply & close.

Dear Mr Shane and Neroilo,
Thank you so much for yours assistance.
I've d/loaded and runned both CodecTweakTool and K-Lite- Codec .
As result was to rework Windows Media Player that, months was off.
Keep in mind that at the CodecTweakingTool the sub_option ( Start > Programs > K-Lite Codec Pack > Configuration > Codec Tweak Tool and check the box next to [Registry][b] Fix non-working system sound.[/b]
does not exist.
Finally due to the reason that Win Xp sounds still remaing off , i believe that somewhere a have make a "fatal error", please do me the favor and stop dealing more , i can live excluding windows sounds

.
Have a nice afternoon both of you
My best regards
Giannis
