Re: Sounds and Audio Devices Program Does Not Load On Windows XP S

What do you mean "Sounds and Audio Devices Program Does Not Load on Windows XP startup". That ISN'T a program that loads on startup, it's a configuration utility that is available and is found in Control Panel that is used to configure your sound devices. It sounds more like you have an intermittent sound hardware problem. If the sound hardware doesn't respond during boot up the operating system can't see it, and you will not have any sound. If you look in device manager when it is working and when its not working you will see the problems under Sound, Video and Game controllers entry. If there is a bad connection causing it on the the motherboard, you will need to take it to a shop.

To Rock, the error in question is exactly how it happens; I am not adding anything on to it, this is self explanitory. I was looking for the fix. There is no error code. This program just doesn't load at startup and is an intermittent problem. I can see I won't get the answer I needed from you, sorry.
