Setting sounds for WindowsXP

I'm having a problem with getting WindowsXP to play a certain wav
file.
When I goto "sounds and audio devices" and bring up the "properties"
box then goto "sounds" I try to get "start Windows" to play a wav
file
with the opening theme from "Star Trek Next Generation" It loads and
plays when I test it with the "play" button, but when I shut down
windows and re-open it, the wav only plays for like 4 notes then
stops...Windows goes on to load up without any problems. When I set
"start Windows" with another wav file, like the them from the
"orignal
Star Trek" it works fine...plays all the way. I have played the
"STNG"
wav file on my Windows media player, and on my iTunes player...no
problems playing the whole file...I have even played the "STNG" wav
file on a program called "Wave Pad" and again it plays without a
problem and doesn't show any visable drops or spaces. Any help on
this? Thank you, John

Hello,

Have read somewhere before that there is a limit on the file size that XP
can play for the start-up sound.

Try reducing the size of the file and see if it helps.

See if this thread helps as well
